A legal contravention is regarded as a repeat of a previous environmental contravention if:
| 1. |
it occurred within 12 months of the previous event |
| 2. |
it is a repeat in terms of the same legislation |
| 3. |
the event took place in the same business unit |
| 4. |
the event is related to plant/equipment (for example, oil holding dam, water holding dam, ash dam, and precipitator) failure; and the cause was the same (failure of procedure, personnel or equipment). In the case of project execution, this may in cases not be applicable |
| 5. |
the event resulted in the same risk/impact (for example, water contamination, air pollution, destruction of vegetation, “license to operate”) that has either persisted or increased (for example, this could be because no corrective action was taken or that action taken was not effective) |
