 The key characteristics of an ecological risk assessment are directly determined by agreements reached by risk managers and risk assessors during planning.
|
The agreements mentioned in the key point above are the products of planning. They include:
- Clearly established and articulated management
goals.
- The decisions to be made within the context of the management
goals (i.e., options for achieving the
management goals).
- Agreement on the scope, complexity, and
focus of the risk assessment, including the expected output
and the technical and financial support available to complete
it.
There are certain questions the risk managers and risk assessors
work with, each from their own perspective, when they make these
agreements. Click the Activity icon below to consider those questions.
