Case study from below and prepare:

• an analytical summary; and
• a briefing note
Step 1.
Based on the risk assessment framework for the chosen case study, write a 1,000-word (maximum) analytical summary. The summary should include:
• the background (i.e. issues)
• a summary of the key findings (i.e. hazard and exposure)
• implications (i.e. the risk characterisation) of the study.
•
Step 2.
Based on the provided template, prepare a two-page (maximum) briefing note for the Minister/Executive Director/Chief Executive. The briefing note should be completed with all headings and without altering spacing.

Use tables/figures in the summary. It must not be a table from the study, but can summarise key findings from it. Do not quote directly from the report.

Whilst in practice references are not used extensively in preparing briefing notes, this is an academic assessment and therefore it is essential that evidence-based literature (minimum 5 references) will support your arguments.

The important aspect from the assignment perspective is that you understand the Environmental Health Risk Assessment (EHRA) framework and can use it to interpret an environmental study. It is essential that your writing is succinct and salient. An example briefing note will be provided on Blackboard.
