Conducting Effective Health Impact Assessments in the Oil and Gas Industry
Society of Petroleum Engineers2010
Health impact assessments (HIAs) have been used for a number of years in the public sector to assess the potential for impacts associated with urban redevelopment projects. HIAs can also serve as a valuable tool in the evaluation of capital projects in the oil and gas sector. Conducting HIAs for industry capital projects, however, is not common and few people or organizations have experience performing HIAs in this context.
