OAITC EIA

EIAs (environmental impact assessments) are undertaken by OAITC’s sister company: Health Industrial Occupations (HINDOC).

HINDOC is a black economic empowerment company that seeks to gain economic equality for historically disadvantaged individuals through health and safety services which include EIAs and other related aspects.

An EIA is a process of examining the environmental effects of a development. An independent EIA consultant has an important role to play in preparing environmental documents for environmental authorities and the public. The EIA document aims to:

• Provide the applicant, business and industry, ngos, the public, labour organisations and the authorities on national, provincial or local government level with a uniform basis for implementing sections 21, 22 and 26 of the Environment Conservation Act, 1989;
• Provide background information regarding the legislation controlling environmentally harmful activities;
• Assist applicants with the preparation, completion and submission of applications and required environmental report(s); and
• Assist authorities in determining their roles and responsibilities as decision-makers.
