Completing an Aspects and Impacts Analysis
An Aspects and Impacts analysis is a study of how an organization’s activities, products, and services affect the environment, in both positive and negative ways.
Completing an Aspects and Impacts analysis in the Standard Job Safety Analysis capability involves the same workflow as that of a Job Safety Analysis.
The data entry mechanics are also virtually identical. However, rather than adding job steps, you’ll add activities (for example, chemical storage, equipment repair, waste management, etc.) and assess the impact of each, including risk levels, and controls, recommendations, and actions to mitigate the potential risk to the environment.
Similar to JSA functionality, several of the options you’re able to select when completing your Aspects and Impacts analysis are defined upon system setup by an administrator in the EHS List Editor (Activity, Aspect, Impact, Significance, Consequence, Likelihood, and Risk Level).
To get started on an Aspects and Impacts analysis, select Operational Risk > Standard Job Safety Analysis > Aspects & Impacts. Select Add New at the top of the Aspects & Impacts page.
