e-shrimp activity Risks, opportunities & assessment

Description
To identify and develop options to address identify risks & opportunities.

ensure that all ESH Risks and Opportunities are identified.

Deliverable Key Task

1 Decision support package (DSP) (or
equivalent)
2 Updated Stakeholder Participation
Report
3 Update ESH Feasibility Report
4 Staff Competence Checklist
Update ESH information into DSP for inclusion in design, engineering and
planning process.
Update the Stakeholder Participation Report.
Based on all available information (ESIAs, EMPs, preliminary site evaluations
and desk top studies) update the feasibility report.
Update Checklist.

Checklists
1 Decision support package (DSP) or equivalent
Most decision points (or gates) in EHS management systems require supporting documentation (various DSP’s). Each of these
packages will have defined requirements for EHS information. These requirements may differ between companies.
a Discuss with designers, engineers and planners the required format for the ESH DSPs. [   ]
b Follow timetable for delivery of DSPs, as outlined in communication plan. [   ]
c Review designer, engineering and planning proposals at DSP milestones. [   ]
d Review the current risks and opportunities register and regional and country profiles (as necessary). [   ]
e Review the best practice guidance documentation (if available) from company or external sources relating to
the proposed works to evaluate opportunities to address EHS issues efficiently. [   ]
f Consider the different aspects (operations) proposed so far and determine a list of potential preliminary
impacts, together with recommendations for adoption of best practicable environmental options (BPEO) where
possible. [   ]
g Attend meetings with engineers and planners, as necessary, to follow-up the publication of each ESH DSP. Add
the minutes of these meetings (where not confidential) to the Stakeholder Participation Report. [   ]
2 Stakeholder Participation Report

a Determine whether your stakeholder identification plan is complete (ie are there other groups which the
stakeholders realised are missing?) [   ]
b Update list of stakeholder expectations. [   ]
c Discuss operator and stakeholder expectations. [   ]
d Update set of clear, simple, objectives with respect to operator/stakeholder expectations. [   ]
e Discuss and update list of stakeholders identified concerns. [   ]
f Update Stakeholder Identification Plan and Communications Plan as necessary. [   ]
g Update Risks and Opportunities register to include stakeholder concerns. [   ]
h Produce minutes of meeting(s) with clear actions highlighted for closure before a predetermined date. [   ]

3 Update ESH feasibility report

Refer to the following from the identify & appraise stage:
a ESH profile report. [   ]
b Risks and Opportunities Register. [   ]
c Communications Plan. [   ]
d Stakeholder Identification Plan. [   ]
e DSPs. [   ]
Typically an ESH feasibility report should include:
a Executive summary. [   ]
b Public safety and security, transportation safety (to be included in the operations section of the feasibility
study). [   ]
c Policy, legal and administrative framework. [   ]
d Baseline information. [   ]
e Environmental, social and health impacts/gaps in the environmental, social and health baseline information. [   ]
f Environmental, social and health information required for proposed impact mitigation measures. [   ]
g Analysis of alternatives for the project (site location). [   ]
h Conclusions. [   ]
i List any emerging environmental, social and health issues. [   ]
j List any potentially significant issues in relation to the project proposal. [   ]
k Assess the viability of the project based on the available environmental, social and health baseline and identify
potential ‘show-stoppers’. [   ]
