Activity
2.4 (cont)
Task
2 The second environmental risk assessment will involve your
own work aspects of the sort that you identified earlier. Here
you put together all your new-found knowledge about aspects,
impacts (direct and indirect), risk and significance. Just carry
out an environmental risk assessment of your own workplace!
And explain why you made the particular assessments. While you
are not expected to know all the ins and outs of all the environmental
impacts that may arise, you are expected to make a judgment
about priorities - based on environmental impacts not cost effectiveness.
That comes up in the next task |
Task
3 shows how you cannot separate "the environment" from the
rest of society. All sorts of other considerations come into
the final assessment of "significance" of environmental impacts.
You
have to consider image, community concerns and several other
social and economic considerations when reaching the final
judgment when deciding what is "significant".
