Summary: The publication considers recent developments in environmental risk management as they relate to commercial organizations, including risk transfer through insurance, and characterization of risks based on the hazard-pathway-receptor principles and site specific factors. A tiered approach to assessment and management of property related risks is discussed. The outcomes of environmental pre-acquisition studies complement consideration of contaminated land and fire related risks. Checklists and case studies assist in review and assessment of environmental risks. Guidance is offered for decision-making under uncertainty, showing the potential of tools such as Monte Carlo analysis and fuzzy logic, and leading to a review of risk assessment and management frameworks. An accessible and valuable reference for those in occupational hygiene, safety, quality personnel and operational managers. (Source: www.search.barnesandnobles.com)
