This co-sponsored workshop is a collaboration between the SRA Justice, Equity and Risk Specialty Group (JERSG), the SRA Exposure Assessment Group (EASG) and the CalEPA’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and is designed to provide relevant, practical tools, methods, and discussions to better equip attendees to implement Environmental Justice (EJ) and Justice and Equity (JE) analyses within their risk assessment, modeling, and regulatory analysis workflows. This workshop will present a series of five learning modules, each covering one aspect of justice and equity in the field of human health risk assessment. Module 1: Technical guidance for assessing environmental justice in risk assessments and regulatory analyses. Module 2: Modeling bias. Module 3: Cumulative risk. Module 4: CalEnviroScreen Tool. Module 5: Climate and Economic Screening Tool. Relevant conversations arising from this workshop can be further explored and discussed at the JERSG sponsored “SRA Equity, Justice and Risk Roundtable Discussion” during the 2021 SRA Annual Meeting and throughout the year during JERSG membership general meetings (https://www.sra.org/risk-analysis-specialty-groups/justice-equity-and-risk/).
