Human health impacts
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a multidisciplinary process intended to facilitate more health-conscious planning and decision making by investigating, assessing and addressing three broad domains of public health: health protection, health promotion and health care.
Creating shared value for industries and communities
While the formal requirement for HIA varies globally, the value it provides is unwavering. We work with our clients to refine and align projects with local public health objectives to not only manage risk, but actively support the uptake of health benefits and more effectively address and respond to community health concerns.  Â
RPS is an internationally recognised and leading HIA service provider with an unrivalled catalogue of project experience encompassing road, rail and airport infrastructure, waste management, grid connections, windfarms, oil and gas projects and new nuclear power stations.
