4. A guide to Scoring Aspects & Qualitative Ranking Using this Aspects Register, the significance of each environmental aspect is computed as [ 1,2, or 3 of (a)] x [1,2, or 3 of (b)] x [1,2, or 3 of (c]) x [1,2, or 3 of (d) ] = score rating (a) Severity (Perception, hazard, volume and potential legal exposure 1 2 3 Minimum client concern, no significant environmental effect, low volumes sporadic use, and/or no breach of legislation likely Some client concern moderate volumes in routine use, noxious, combustible, flammable, and/or potential breach Significant public and client concern, significant volumes in routine use, corrosive, easily flammable, toxic, environmentally damaging and/or actual breach (b) Probability of failure of control or loss of customer/staff confidence (Based on existing controls such as physical controls, competence, procedures, incidents, non-conformities, complaints) 1 Very low probability 2 Possible 3 Likely (c) Pathway/Frequency 1 2 3 Waste/substances remain within designated containment or activity rarely carried out Waste/substances remain within facility or building or activity routinely carried out Waste/substances enter drains or the outside environment or activity frequently carried out (d) Resource Depletion (Use of energy, paper, water, gas and other consumables) 1 2 Optimised use of energy and consumables Process controlled but not optimised 3 Process not managed Qualitative of Numeric Ranking 1-4 Aspects poses little or no threat (or opportunity) to the environment or the Organization/Client 6-16 Aspects controlled & poses only a moderate threat (or opportunity) but, an aspect may require further research, where identified, to establish the true extent of any threat (or opportunity ). 24-36 Aspects are controlled but poses great threat (or opportunity) to the to the environment or the Organization/ Client. Activity to be reviewed for improvements. 54-81 Aspects are controlled weakly and poses great threat (or opportunity) ) to the to the environment or the Organization/ Client. Activity must cease until controls strengthened.
