Many organizations that have AFFF in their portfolio struggle to determine where to focus first. The most logical starting point is commonly a “risk ranking” and prioritization initiative, which is often assumed to require complex models, extensive data collection and significant upfront investment.
This Navigating PFAS webinar presents a more pragmatic approach. Rather than starting with a large-scale ranking exercise, this session explores how a focused, right-sized AFFF transition assessment, grounded in readily available information and a structured survey process, can quickly bring clarity to exposure, readiness and decision-making needs. Presenters will demonstrate how working collaboratively with businesses across environmental health and safety (EHS) facilities, fire protection and operations can surface what is known, identify areas of need and distinguish where further analysis may or may not be warranted.
Through real-world scenarios, attendees will see how an initial prioritization step can be scoped deliberately and efficiently to help organizations avoid unnecessary complexity and effort while still supporting defensible, informed next steps.
Attendees will leave with a clear path of how to establish a practical understanding to determine whether deeper analysis is truly needed and move forward with confidence in their AFFF transition strategy.
This webinar is designed for EHS leaders; fire protection and risk engineering professionals; facilities, operations and asset management leaders; regulatory compliance, legal, risk and insurance stakeholders; and executives and capital planning decision makers.
Key takeaways
Participants will:
- Learn why AFFF transition planning does not always have to be complex
- Understand how a limited scope, survey-based assessment can quickly establish visibility across a portfolio
- See how collaborative information gathering can uncover meaningful priorities without significant upfront spend
- Gain insight into when simple prioritization is sufficient and when deeper analysis is justified
