TH42 Proactively Identifying and Planning for Risk in the Aggregate Industry Greg Gold, Brian Buck, Alexander Edstrom, Jared Erickson, Stantec The aggregates and construction industries are highly competitive and time-sensitive industries.

So we cannot afford to ignore risk in hope that it will not affect our day-to-day operations. We will discuss Legal, Environmental, Water Management, Geological/Geotechnical, and Public Relations risk and how to be proactive and plan now for what could go wrong. Preparing for these situations ahead of time and not having to rely on your crisis management skills will reduce your operational risk and save you time and money.
