6.1.3 Social Aspects<br />
Table 2 <strong>Program</strong> evaluation of environmental aspects<br />
Again, social aspects could also be assessed using the POET model. The matrix related to social<br />
aspects is shown in Table 3, which can accommodate aspects such as the number of jobs created, the<br />
quality of the created jobs, the health safety <strong>and</strong> security aspects in the workplace, knowledge levels,<br />
access to health care, access to water <strong>and</strong> sanitation, quality of life of the employees <strong>and</strong> community<br />
in <strong>and</strong> around the applicable plant.<br />
The criteria could be assessed according to the POET model, for instance, instead of counting the<br />
absolute number of jobs created as in the past, the quality of the created job could be assessed. The<br />
workplace environment <strong>and</strong> available resources should be assessed (P); the compatibility of this job<br />
with national skills development <strong>and</strong> training initiatives (O); the individual position’s job description<br />
should be clear to both the employer <strong>and</strong> employee (E); <strong>and</strong> the creation of new types of jobs should<br />
be considered (T). Evaluation criteria of other issues could include:<br />
Governance. Transparency of contracting <strong>and</strong> liability, especially when issues are<br />
underwritten by fiscus; the extent of requirements for regulation (primarily of plant<br />
operation, but including enforcement of EMPs for mines <strong>and</strong> provisions for<br />
decommissioning); requirements for restrictions on access to information; lack of<br />
transparency of industries / technology vendors;<br />
Stakeholder <strong>and</strong> community participation: compatibility with local community participation<br />
(including as l<strong>and</strong> reform beneficiaries); compatibility with other local productive activities;<br />
potential for sweat‐equity; decentralisation <strong>and</strong> devolution from monopolies.<br />
Intergenerational equity: depletion of natural resources / natural capital (domestic);<br />
exposure to long term supply constraints on finite resources (recognising international peak<br />
supply prospects); lock‐in to technologies with heavy ecological footprint;<br />
Health, Safety <strong>and</strong> Security: burden on law enforcement <strong>and</strong> the extent of security<br />
requirements (including transmission, specifically if electricity is imported); the burden on<br />
public safety services <strong>and</strong> the provision for emergency response; vulnerability to<br />
<strong>and</strong> potential for sabotage.<br />
