MANAGING RISK THROUGH SPATIAL PLANNING

ANALYSIS OF RISKS THAT PRETENT TO SAFETY, HEALTH & THE ENVIRONMENT

In connection with new and modified plans in spatial planning, we carry out risk analyses to create decision support for risk assessment. This type of risk analysis is mainly carried out for projects involving the transport of dangerous goods and proximity to industries and petrol stations, as well as areas close to these types of risk sources.

Risk reduction measures are proposed where necessary to meet health and safety acceptance criteria. The study can be done separately or as part of an environmental impact assessment.

Risk analyses are an important basis for deciding on the best location for housing, businesses and other buildings. We work to make risk analysis in spatial planning a simple and easy-to-understand basis for decision-making. The aim is to cost-effectively locate and analyse the risks that pose a threat to safety, health and the environment, and to design risk reduction measures where necessary.

The working methodology for our risk analyses is based on the specific circumstances of the planning area in question. Risk objects and protection objects are identified and described to the extent appropriate. Identified risks are analysed and evaluated based on legislation, requirements and guidelines. The emphasis is placed on protecting human life and health, as well as the environment, from risks in society.

Relevant action proposals are presented on the basis of the risk assessment. The earlier in the planning process the risk analysis is carried out, the easier it is to design cost-effective proposals for action. We attach great importance to presenting actions in a clear and realistic way in order to facilitate implementation. Don’t hesitate to get in touch and we’ll see how we can help you!
