A focused, day-long workshop exploring the complexities of metals risk assessment across contaminated sites and mining contexts.

Why This Workshop Matters

Metal contamination can be found anywhere, from small backyard sites to large-scale mines. Risk assessments for metals sites range widely in complexity and each brings unique challenges. Come and learn more at Geoenvirologic’s day-long workshop on risk assessment and risk management of metals at different types of sites, for diverse clients and for various regulatory applications. We will cover toxicology of metals, rare metals, and risk assessments ranging in scale from small urban sites to mining sites (e.g., use of risk assessment and management throughout the mine life cycle). 

This workshop will cover an expanse of risk-based thinking applicable to securing certification, site closure, environmental assessment, permitting, and operation. The target audience includes anyone working on contaminated sites and in the mining sector that assesses or manages metals in soil, groundwater, surface water and sediments, including risk assessors, project managers, colleagues that work alongside risk assessors, problem owners and liability managers.
