The EPA developed the risk assessment tool to help licensees understand the EPA's risk assessment process.
All licensees are encouraged to use this tool to better understand the environmental risks that may affect the risk rating for their premises.
Identification of environmental risks allows licensees to consider environmental improvements that could be put in place to address and reduce the risk level of the premises.
If you have any questions regarding the risk assessment tool or results, please contact the Environment Line, on 131 555
