FAQ

WHAT LAW GOVERNS ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS IN KENYA?

Environmental matters in Kenya are governed by the Environmental Management and
Coordination Act (EMCA) 1999 (rev2015). The Act provides for the establishment
of an appropriate legal and institutional framework for the management of the
environment and for matters connected therewith and incidental to the
environment.

The body mandated with general supervision and coordination of all matters
relating to the environment and to be the principal instrument of Government in
the implementation of all policies relating to the environment is the National
Environment Management Authority (NEMA).

WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT?

An Environmental Impact Assessment commonly referred to as EIA is an environment
management tool that is used to assess the social, economic, and environmental
impacts of a proposed project.

WHY SHOULD I UNDERTAKE AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT?

It is a legal requirement under the Environmental Management Coordination Act
for projects listed under the Second Schedule of the Act. They include urban
development, transportation, quarrying and mining, water resources, agriculture,
processing and manufacturing industries, waste disposal, natural conservation,
and infrastructure among others.

An Environmental Impact Assessment also assists the developer to modify the
project based on the findings of the assessment in order to reduce the
environmental impacts to the benefit of the developer and the environment.

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT CARRYING OUT AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ASSESSMENT?

It is illegal to undertake any project for which an EIA is mandatory without an
approved EIA report. NEMA, the regulating authority in matters of the
environment in Kenya, can obtain an order for the project and take legal action
for non-compliance with the law.

HOW MUCH DOES AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT COST?

Consultancy fees to prepare and conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment and
to prepare the EIA Reports depend on the nature and scope of the project.

WHAT IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT?

Environmental auditing is an environmental management tool for assessing the
environmental impacts of an entity’s activities and processes against a set
criteria or standards. It is used to help in improving existing human
activities, with the aim of reducing the adverse effects of these activities on
the environment. This is an annual requirement for the businesses listed in
Schedule 2.

WHO IS LICENSED TO CONDUCT AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL
AUDITS?

Environmental Impact Assessments and Environmental Audits should be conducted by
individual experts or a firm of experts licensed by NEMA.  Ecocare Africa is a
duly registered Firm of Experts (Reg 2620).

WHAT LAW GOVERNS OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY?

The safety and health of workers in the workplace are governed by the
Occupational Safety and Health Act, of 2007 – Commonly referred to as OSHA. The
main objective of the Act is to provide for the safety, health, and welfare of
workers and all persons lawfully present at workplaces.

The Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services (DOSHS) is
responsible for the administration of this Act.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF WORKPLACE?

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Act 2007, workplace includes any
land, premises, location, vessel, or thing, at, in, upon, or near which, a
worker is, in the course of employment. The Act requires all workplaces to be
registered and be entered in the Register of Workplaces by the Director of
Occupational Safety and Health and annual renewal of the same.

IS HEALTH AND SAFETY/FIRE/RISK AUDIT MANDATORY?

The Occupational Safety and Health Act 2007 requires all workplaces to conduct
and submit these audits and submit the Reports to the Directorate of
Occupational Safety and Health Services (DOSHS) annually.

WHY CONDUCT A FIRE SAFETY AUDIT?

Rule 36 of the Fire Risk Reduction Rules, 2007 (Subsidiary to OSHA, 2007)
requires all workplaces to submit a fire safety audit annually, which should be
conducted by a registered Fire Safety Advisor.

WHO IS LICENSED TO CONDUCT HEALTH & SAFETY AUDIT?

Health and safety audits are conducted by consultants licensed by the
Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Act and subsidiary legislation.

WHAT IS A SAFETY AND HEALTH POLICY STATEMENT?

A health and safety policy sets out an entity’s general approach and commitment
together with the arrangements in place for managing health and safety at the
workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Act 2007 requires the occupiers of
all workplaces to formulate and display a Safety and Health Policy Statement.
