For example blasting performance at a site may be poor, resulting in failure to retain catch-berms. Good wall control may be a prerequisite for the slope design and thus poor blasting would rate high in terms of its impact on failure. Loss of catch-berms may give rise to rock-fall hazards resulting in a high rating for failure consequence.
