Ranking Values
Regulated (Y or N)Environmental Significance:
- Scale of impact – how big is it? (L, ML, M, MH, H)
- Severity of impact – how bad is it? Consider worker, community and environmental health.(L, ML, M, MH, H)
- Probability of impact – how likely is it to occur? (L, ML, M, MH, H)
- Duration of impact – how long will it persist? (L, ML, M, MH, H)
- Potential for legal exposure – how much risk does it pose? (L, ML, M, MH, H)
- Public concern or effect on image – how much does the public care about this? (L, ML, M, MH, H)
- Ease of changing the impact– can it be stopped or changed economically? (Y or N)
- Minimal change of process – do we control the process and can it be changed to lessen significance?(Y/N)
