RISK RATING

a SEVERITY b LIKELIHOOD c FINAL SCORE RATING: what needs to be done

5 Dying or being permanently disabled
4 Serious injury/long term illness
3 Temporary disability/3 days off sick
2 Will need medical attention
1 Minor injury e.g. Bruise, graze
5 Will almost certainly happen 16-25 Stop! Do not start activity again until risk is
controlled
4 Highly likely to happen 10-15 High risk level, High priority. Take action
straight away to control the risk
3 Not so likely 6-9 Medium risk level. Tighten up controls and
make a plan to do something about risk
2 Even less likely 3-5 Fairly low risk level. Low priority but keep
possible action in mind
1 Unlikely to happen at all 1-2 Low or trivial risk. No further action
required.
