Chapter Four Associated and Potential Environmental Impacts Table 4.3: Potential consequences classification matrix Magnitude of Effect Receptor sensitivity Low change Medium change High change Low Trivial effect Slight effect Substantial effect Medium Slight effect High Substantial effect Substantial effect Big effect 4-3 Big effect Massive effect The definitions for the potential consequence of environmental, social and health impacts are as follows: Definitions for the potential consequence of environmental impacts Hardly any: Effect on the biophysical environment (physical: noise, light, air; geochemical: water, soil; and biological: flora and fauna) that may cause temporary and/or sub-lethal effects on individual plants and animals. Does not cause any effect on population structure or size. Causes only temporary and/or minor disruption to habitats and ecosystems. Little: Effect on the biophysical environment that may cause small impacts with few losses of individual plants and animals and some adverse effects on population structure and size. May cause some degradation of habitat and ecosystem quality. Considerable: Effect on the biophysical environment that may cause long term loss of plant and/or animal species; local and temporary damage to habitats and dysfunction of communities and ecosystems. Great: Effect on the biophysical environment that may cause permanent loss of plant and/or animal species, resulting in local extinction of flora and fauna; permanent loss of small areas of habitat and ecosystems. Extreme: Effect on the biophysical environment that may cause permanent loss of whole populations of plant and/or animals, with widespread extinctions; widespread and permanent loss of habitats; and whole communities and ecosystems. Definitions for the potential consequence of social impacts Hardly any: A trivial effect on the social environment, which causes almost no nuisance or damage in the community. The local culture and lifestyle as well as the social infrastructure are somewhat negatively affected, but the effect is only temporary. The impact could result in some disagreement with stakeholder groups, but relationships are likely to remain strong. Little: A slight effect on the social environment that causes temporary changes in the way of life of the community. The local culture and societal structure is negatively affected. There is disagreement with stakeholder groups but the relationship remains fairly strong. Considerable: A substantial effect on the social environment. The way of life in the community is disrupted and fundamental disagreement with stakeholder groups has arisen. There is a breakdown of trust between the company and its stakeholders although relationships have remained stable. A single stakeholder group might have started campaigning against the company.
Chapter Four Associated and Potential Environmental Impacts Great: A big effect on the social environment. There is permanent disruption to communal lifestyle. The local culture and the societal structure suffer greatly. There is now a fundamental disagreement between the company and its stakeholders that destabilizes the companystakeholder relationship. This may affect the speed and effectiveness of future decisionmaking processes. Extreme: A massive effect on the social environment. There is sustained large disruption of and changes to the lifestyle of a community leading to a reduction in quality of life. Impacts have become a concern for all stakeholder groups, irreversible damage to social structure, traditional culture, and infrastructure and total breakdown of stakeholder relationships. Definitions for the potential consequence of health impacts Hardly any: These are mere nuisances, not affecting work performance or causing disability, e.g. non-toxic dusts (as an acute hazard), short time sleep disturbance. There is no need to see medical services or a doctor. These health effects will disappear. Little: Illnesses that will need the attention of medical services/doctor. They need only a few days to fully recover and will not have led to chronic diseases, e.g., colds, chicken pox, skin infections and irritants, or many food poisoning bacteria. Considerable: Diseases (agents) capable of irreversible health damage causing permanent partial disability without loss of life. These health effects will need prolonged continuous or intermittent medical attention. e.g., hypertension, obesity, noise induced hearing loss, chronic back injuries caused by poor manual handling tasks or inactivity, chronic infections (like sexual transmitted diseases, schistosomiasis, hepatitis A), chronic skin diseases or respiratory system diseases like asthma caused by external agents and stress. Great: Permanent total disability or low number of fatalities: diseases capable of irreversible damage with serious disability. Low infectious communicable diseases like Ebola, SARS, Avian Flu, parasitic diseases (sleeping sickness), alcoholism and drug abuse, road traffic accidents, cancer caused by known human carcinogens (small exposed population), malnutrition, heat stroke, severe psychological stress leading to suicide. Extreme: Multiple fatalities: diseases with the potential to cause multiple fatalities: highly infectious diseases like tuberculosis, hepatitis B, HIV/AIDS, parasitic diseases as malaria, diseases caused by acute toxins (hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide), cancers caused by human carcinogens (large exposed population).
