-
1 - 02 Low Risk - the work is safe and no further action is required unless additional hazards arise during the work
-
03 - 06 Medium Risk - the work is safe, but the risk control measures need monitoring to ensure the risk level does not increase during the task or process. Prioritize And Control As Far As Reasonably Practicable
-
07 - 15 High Risk - the risk controls need to be revieved and additional controls added to reduce the risk to medium level. Put Controls In Place Before Commencing To Reduce Risk Score
-
16 - 25 Extreme High Risk - the activity should not proceed at this time due to the potential risk of a fatality and an alternative safer method of work is required before work can commence
