Serious Effect
- Cost > USD 50 M to USD 100 M
- Production loss > 25% to 50% of PHE
ONWJ Production
- Production loss total shutdown for > 1
week up to 0.5 month
Serious Damage
- Oil spill > 100 to 250 bbls (exceed statutory limit)
- Severe environmental damage, potentially beyond site boundary
- Company potentially required to take extensive measures to
restore contaminated environment to original conditions (Tier 1 Oil
Spill Response)
- Receptor experiences considerable, medium to long term
difficulties in absorbing/ adapting and recovering from impact
- Sensitive receptors (i.e. turtles nesting grounds, fish spawning
areas, birds, marine parks, corals, etc.) potentially affected.

D Major Injury or Health Effect Moderate Effect

- Prolonged LTI
- Agents capable of moderate health effects
which are reversible but with hospitalization
- Cost > USD 10 M to USD 50 M
- Production loss > 10% to 25% of PHE
ONWJ Production
- Production loss total shutdown for > 1 day
up to 1 week

Moderate Damage
- Oil spill >15 to 100 bbls (exceed statutory limit)
- Contained by PHE Oil Spill Response Team (OSRT)
- Moderate environmental damage that require cleaning up/ removal
and disposal from the company
- Receptors experience short term difficulties in absorbing/ adapting
and recovering from impact
- No sensitive receptors (ie. turtles nesting grounds, fish spawning
areas, birds, marine parks, corals, etc.) are affected

E Minor Injury or Health Effect Minor Effect Minor Damage

- Medical treatment case - Cost > USD 1 M to USD 10 M - Oil spill 1-15 bbls (within statutory limit)
- Restricted Work Case - Production loss > 5% to 10% of PHE - Contained within the site boundary/ localised
- LTI (a few days) ONWJ Production - Able to be controlled/ recovered on site
- Agents capable of minor health effects - Production loss total shutdown for < 1 day - Immediate slight impact/ damage to a non-sensitive environment
which are reversible (no hospitalization) and can be remediated to original conditions

F Slight Injury or Health Effect Slight Effect Slight Damage

- First aid - Cost ≤ 1M - Oil spill <1 bbls of oil (within statutory limit)
- No effect on work performance - Production loss ≤ 5% of PHE ONWJ - Natural dispersion

- Partial shutdown < 1 day
