Risk Assessment Guide

  • Step 1 - Consider Concequences

    What are the consequences of this hazard occurring? Consider what is the most probable consequence (below) with respect to this work hazard

  • Concequence
  • Step 2 - Consider Likelihood

    What is the likelihood (below) of the hazard consequence in Step 1 occurring?

  • Likelehood
  • Step 3 - Calculate Risk

    1. Take Step 1 Rating and select the correct column
    2. Take Step 2 Rating and select the correct row
    3. Use the risk score where the two ratings cross on the below matrix

    E = Extreme
    H = High
    M = Moderate
    L = Low
