Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA)

Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) is a process used to address environmental contamination, focusing on the risks posed to human health and the environment. Instead of fixing all pollution entirely, RBCA evaluates the level of risk associated with contaminants, prioritizing actions based on potential harm. This approach helps allocate resources more effectively, ensuring that the most dangerous situations are addressed first while allowing for more flexible cleanup solutions in less harmful cases. Ultimately, RBCA aims to balance safety, practicality, and cost in managing environmental cleanups.
