Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about environmental assessments, statutory compliance, and NEMA licensing in Kenya.
What projects require an Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA)?
Under Kenya's Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA), any project involving infrastructure, energy generation, manufacturing, commercial construction, mining, waste management, or coastal development requires an approved ESIA study and NEMA license before physical works begin.
How often must an Environmental Audit be conducted?
Statutory Environmental Audits are conducted annually for operating industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. The audit evaluates compliance with NEMA regulations, effluent discharge standards, and license conditions.
What is included in an Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) audit?
An OSH audit evaluates workplace hazards, machinery guarding, emergency response plans, fire safety equipment, chemical handling, worker PPE, and compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA 2007).
What is the typical timeline for securing an ESIA NEMA license?
Timelines depend on project risk classification (Low, Medium, or High Risk). Low and medium-risk projects typically take 30–60 days, while high-risk projects requiring public hearings and extensive baseline studies may take 60–90 days. We manage the process to avoid unnecessary delays.
Does Planetward Consultants operate across all counties in Kenya?
