Enhancing our capabilities in brownfield risk assessment with SoBRA

13 July 2018

As part of the continuous development of our staff and our commitment to offer our clients the best services, we are proud to announce that our environmental consultant Dicken Maclean has been awarded Registered Risk Assessor with the Society of Brownfield Risk Assessment (SoBRA) for Human Health.

The Society for Brownfield Risk Assessment is an organisation of contaminated land risk assessment professionals aiming to improve technical knowledge in risk-based decision-making related to land contamination applications and to enhance the professional status and profile of practitioners.

The SoBRA Accreditation scheme is focused on the technical details of brownfield risk assessment, where a Registered SoBRA Risk Assessor is likely to meet the definition of “competent person” under the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF 2012) in relation to Generic Quantitative Risk Assessment (GQRA).
