Stakeholder and regulatory collaboration and negotiation

Through working for both industrial landowners and brownfield site developers, the RSK team has developed a good rapport with EA representatives and local authority EHOs throughout England, Wales and Scotland. In addition, RSK currently employs individuals that have either worked for or been seconded into the regulatory communities in England and Scotland, giving our risk assessment teams and our project managers an insider’s view of how the regulator may assess our projects.

All RSK quantified risk assessment, project management and remedial design teams are trained in the practical application of contaminated land legislation. As a measure of our level of expertise, RSK frequently offer legislative-awareness training to our clients.
