2. Drinking Water Quality Risk Management within an ISO 31000 Framework by Annette Davison
It’s been nearly a year in its gestation but Annette’s book on drinking water quality risk management, within an ISO 31000 framework, is finally out!
The objective of this book is to provide users with an applied approach to drinking water quality risk management, supported by many practical examples from work conducted over many years with a range of colleagues and for a range of organisations. Knowing that drinking water quality management is everyone’s business and not everyone will be interested in every chapter, a ‘grab sample’ section has been provided at the end of the book. This section summarises all the chapters – allowing the reader to review the key risk points, and then navigate to the detailed chapter of interest to them.
This book is intended as a working resource to help anyone who uses, produces, manages or regulates drinking water quality, understand and improve drinking water quality risk management, within an ISO 31000 framework.
What’s more, purchasing it, will benefit both WaterAid and the Humpty Dumpty Foundation with part proceeds going jointly to these two charities.
