Pioneers in the preparation of environmental risk analysis and environmental accident expertise

The Environmental Liability Directive requires preventing and repairing damage to the environment, applying the “polluter pays” principle. At EHS Techniques we integrate this principle from the outset, preparing complete, realistic and rigorous environmental risk analyses (ARMA) , including their monetization, an essential tool for determining the amount of the financial guarantee.

In addition, our ALERT EHS program is a specialized emergency response and environmental risk management service that helps industry minimize risks and associated costs in the event of an accident.

What services do we offer in Environmental Risk Management?

• Environmental risk analysis (ARMA) including monetization
  We identify potential damage to surface water, soils, subsoil, ecosystems, protected species and habitats. We quantitatively assess environmental damages and calculate the economic cost associated with their remediation, allowing us to calculate real and accurate financial guarantees.
• Environmental accident expertise
  In situations of environmental claims, we offer technical expertise. We determine responsibilities, quantify damages, evaluate environmental restoration solutions specific to each incident and under a cost-efficient criterion.
• Development and implementation of the ALERT EHS service
  We implement contingency and prevention systems, environmental incident response contracts, design and execution of drills and operational training to reduce the economic impact if an accident occurs, as well as coordination with relevant authorities if necessary.
• Specialized sectorial advice
  We work with many industrial sectors: refineries, solar thermal power plants, natural gas distribution and storage, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, waste management, among others. Each one with its specific risks and applicable regulations; we adapt our assessments to the specific sector, local scenario and legislation in force.

Advantages of relying on EHS Techniques

• Early detection of risks: avoidance of costly liabilities, sanctions, unexpected reputational impacts.
• Better financial planning: have actual estimates of environmental liabilities and enforceable guarantees.
• Strict compliance with the Spanish and European legal framework for environmental responsibility, sector regulations and local requirements, reducing legal exposure.
• Cost reduction in the event of accidents through specific and effective protocols (EHS ALERT), minimizing damages and expenses inherent to repairs, penalties or operational interruptions.
• Security for investors and stakeholders: greater transparency, better asset valuation, confidence of financial institutions or buyers when managing risks.

Our working method

1. Initial diagnosis
   We review legal documentation, authorizations, environmental history, previous reports, physically inspect the facilities and environment, identify exposure routes and possible sources of impact.
2. Quantitative assessment and monetization
   We perform detailed environmental risk analyses, project possible damage scenarios, estimate restoration costs, mitigation, penalties and financial liability.
3. Development of ALERT EHS
   Design of contingency and emergency plans, drills, rapid response contracts, training of internal personnel, definition of roles in the event of incidents, coordination with suppliers and environmental authorities.
4. Implementation, follow-up and continuous improvement
   We accompany the execution of recommendations, monitor compliance with mitigation plans, review financial guarantees and adapt according to changes in regulations, sectors or operating conditions.
