Risk - Probability X Consequence Probability Consequence: How To Complete ERA

This document provides a risk assessment matrix for evaluating the probability and consequence of environmental impacts from activities and determining an overall risk score. It explains how to assess the probability of an impact, consequence of an impact, and identify the risk level based on the probability-consequence matrix. Actions or control measures are then specified to eliminate or minimize hazards according to the risk score.

Risk – Probability x Consequence

Probability Consequence

1. Long term environmental damage, catastrophe, major spill or


contamination incident, major damage to heritage or threatened species,
A. Common or repeating occurrence
agency investigation, media coverage, prosecution, significant AED /
QAR / SAR loss.

2. Environment adversely affected significant damage, medium spill,


B. Known to occur or has happened
agency investigation, reputation impact financial loss.

3. Short term impacts, minor spill or damage. Soil, water, air, flora/fauna
C. Could occur or heard of it happening
adversely affected in short term.

4. Could affect the environment but release containable and managed on


D. Not likely
site.

E. Practically impossible 5. No environmental effects, no eco-system harm, no contamination

1. Assess probability of impact from activity e.g. 2
2. Assess consequence of impact e.g. 4 5 M (5) M (10) H (15) H (20) H (25)
