Legislation - Is there legislation preventing or controlling the process? Environmental Damage - If the process is not controlled, will it damage our environment?. If so, by how much ? Interested parties - Who is concerned that the process is being carried out? Quantum of potential risk - Is the process continually affecting our environment /people, or is it just now and again? A score between 1 and 3 is given to each of the four areas therefore providing a maximum score of 12. Any score of 6 or above is considered important enough for it to be controlled in some way. The activities determined have to be considered under three scenarios: Normal operating conditions Abnormal operating conditions Potential Emergency.     Architects Builders Merchants Domestic Landscapes Housebuilders Landscape Architects Self Builders
