Dear SoBRA Member,

We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for Joint Early Careers Workshop held at the Geological Society on 19^th June 2018.

Joint SoBRA/Geological Society & RemSoc Early Careers Risk Assessment Workshop
Early Careers Risk Assessment Workshop:

How to be a Better Risk Assessor
One Day Workshop at the Geological Society
Burlington House
Piccadilly
London W1J 0BG
Date June 19^th 2018

This workshop will provide early career professionals with the tools to be a better brownfield risk assessor in the context of geological knowledge and remedial needs. Talks and workshops presented by experts in each field will:

Provide an overview of key risk assessment frameworks (human health from soil, asbestos, gas and vapours, and controlled waters);
Develop understanding of the key factors that commonly drive our model projections;
Explore how such model uncertainty may be reduced by good field practices, good site conceptualisation, and selection of appropriate criteria;
Introduce potential Chartership and accreditation schemes; and finally
Provide attendees with an opportunity to network with their peers and attain confidence in a workshop environment.
After the event a document will be produced summarising the outcomes of the workshops and highlighting key learning points and sharing common mistakes. This will be a useful resource to assist early career professionals in their risk assessments.

Booking is also open for our Summer Workshop regarding the finding tuning of DQRAs for the water environment:

Kind Regards

SoBRA
