Document background
The Environmental Risk Assessment Form is a critical document required by Hong Kong's environmental protection framework, particularly under the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO). This document must be completed for projects that may have significant environmental impacts, serving as both a regulatory compliance tool and a practical guide for environmental risk management. The form requires detailed analysis of potential environmental impacts across various aspects including air, water, noise, waste, and ecology. It helps project proponents identify, assess, and mitigate environmental risks while ensuring compliance with Hong Kong's stringent environmental protection standards. The document is particularly crucial in the early stages of project planning and must be approved by the Environmental Protection Department before project commencement.
