Table 2 Consequence Scale Consider the Worst Credible Outcome (Actual or Potential)

Consequence
Health & Safety (includes off-site) Environment Large scale irreversible environmental harm Reputation / Community Serious public or media outcry (international coverage). Operational Impact / Customer Service / Marketing Interruption to a material part of operations >6 months Extreme loss of production and service to customers. Key customers lost to alternative supply. Interruption to a material part of operations >1 month Major loss of production and service to customers. Some customers lost to alternative supply. Interruption to a material part of operations >1 week Moderate loss of production and service to customers. Some customers seek alternative supply for short term. Financial/ Asset Loss

Catastrophic

Fatality

> $10 million

Major

Severe irreversible disability (>30% of body) to one or more persons Days lost

Moderate

Moderate irreversible disability or impairment (<30% of body) to one or more persons Alternative duties required

Minor

Objective but reversible disability requiring medical treatment No medical treatment required

Negligible

Significant, long term environmental harm. Major release of pollutants or release of pollutants to an extremely sensitive area. Immediate offsite contamination which is beyond the normal combatant resources available at site. Release of pollutants to sensitive areas. Contamination of air, land or water that does not constitute a threat to the offsite environment. Contamination occurs within contained areas and can be managed through normal operations.

Significant adverse national media / public / NGO attention

$1 million to $10 million

Attention from media and / or heightened concern by local community. Criticism by NGOs

$100,000 to $1 million

Minor, adverse local public or media attention or complaints Public concern restricted to local complaints.

Interruption to a material part of operations <1 week Minor loss of production and service to customers. Interruption to a material part of operations <2 hours Minimal loss of production or service to customers.
