Activity 2.5

Now you have a better idea of how to make an environmental risk assessment, you will be required to go beyond your own work and assess the whole of your department, area or plant.

This activity is based on the idea of "benchmarking". Managers self assess their organisation against a general set of questions, where there is a choice of graded answers. The managers can then grade/benchmark themselves against others. Here the same technique is used, adapted to plant level

Task1 is used to survey an area/department or plant. The questions ask about practical matters, such as paper use and water conservation. You should be able to see the answers around you, or be able to find the answers quire easily.

Task 2 asks you to summarise the results of each question. This way, you can reach a final figure that can be used as a measure of your plant's environmental performance. In this way, you can turn values into numbers.
