Air Quality Dust Risk Assessment (AQDRA) / Air Quality Dust Management Plan (AQDMP)
The Air Quality Dust Risk Assessment (AQDRA) generally covers all the physical activities occurring on-site that result mainly in the generation of dust which results in soiling and impacts on human health (especially through the generation of PM10 and PM2.5).
Typically, the AQDRA would include the following:
A risk assessment for each phase of works (demolition, earthworks, construction, track out), which incorporates the risk evaluation process set out below, and identifies suitable mitigation measures for the relevant level of risk.
Identification of whether each phase of activity on-site represents a low, medium or high risk by following the relevant guidance.
The Air Quality Dust Management Plan (AQDMP) should give specific instructions on how to manage impacts from dust and air pollutant emissions on the development site. It should cover all phases of the construction process and take account of all contractors or subcontractors. The production of an AQDMP will assist developers to comply with The Environmental Protection Act 1990 which makes it an offence to cause a nuisance to nearby inhabitants by generating dust. The AQDRA is often incorporated into the AQDMP.
