system.

3.0 ABBREVIATION
3.1 AFX – Affix Scaffolding W.L.L
3.2 IMS – Integrated Management System (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018)

3.4 EAIA – Environmental Aspects and Impact Assessment
4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES
4.1 IMS Representative
4.2 Departmental Heads
4.3 Safety In Charge
5.0 PROCESS
5.1 Activity listing and Identification of Environmental issues
5.1.1 The IMS Representative / Departmental Heads are each responsible for organizing a cross-functional team to

perform the evaluation. When possible, each member of the team should bring a unique perspective to the
table.
5.1.2 Consideration shall be given to both normal operating conditions and to emergency operating conditions.

5.1.3 Through a process of brainstorming and information gathering, the integrated management system team shall

develop a baseline list of activities and associated environmental aspects.

5.1.4 Integrated management system team determines its significant aspects by applying five criteria to the

potential and actual environmental interactions of its activities, products, and services. These criteria are used
to evaluate the degree and the severity of impacts (either positive or negative) of these interactions on the
natural environment, on the organization, and on others. If, upon applying the criteria, a threshold impact
value is exceeded (described below) then the environmental interaction of the specific activity, product or
service is considered “significant." The criteria for evaluating environmental interactions include:
5.1.4.1 Legal and Other Requirements: -- is the activity controlled by or otherwise subject to regulations or
other requirements to which AFX subscribes?

5.1.4.2 Impact to the Environment: -- to what degree does the activity potentially alter the natural
environment (either positively or negatively)?
5.1.4.3 Impact to Mission/Organization: -- to what degree does the specified activity potentially disrupt or
support operations?
5.1.4.4 Financial Impact: -- what costs or cost-savings does the activity potentially impose on or provide to the
Agency?
5.1.4.5 Impact to Community: -- to what degree does the activity potentially affect the views of outside
interested parties, such as the local community and other federal agencies?

6.0 Probability Likelihood Rating

High Almost certain to occur 3 points
Medium Possible occurrence 2 points
Low Unlikely to occur 1 point

Assess the severity of impact and assign a rating as shown in the table below:
Probability Likelihood Rating
Serious Major accident, potential press & 3 points
interested party involvement, leaves
lasting effects, emergency procedures
enacted
Moderate No lasting effects, some potential 2 points
interested party concern, dealt with via
operation process/es / procedures
Minor Potential minimal effects, no interested 1 point
part interest
Assign the overall rating assuming all existing control measures are in place.
Overall rating = Likelihood of Occurrence X Severity
The range of possible ratings are shown in the matrix below:
Probability
Low Medium High

Minor 1 2 3

Severity
Moderate 2 4 6
Serious 3 6 9

The overall rating and the subsequent urgency of actions:

Rating Impact Level Action & Time Scale
9 Action within 3 months Overall rating unacceptable, full investigation to be
undertaken and controls must be put in place to mitigate
adverse effects
5 Action if budget allocated Overall rating normally acceptable, but investigation to be
undertaken and action plan put in place order to reduce the
adverse effect, if a budget is allocated
4,3 Action only if cost effective Efforts might be taken to reduce the adverse effect, but the
costs of prevention should be carefully measured and limited,
if time permits
2,1 No action needed No additional controls are required
