Instructions
Click on one of the Blue boxes above to select RAM 5x4 or 5x5. Next, enter
up to 5 hazards in the "Hazard #" boxes. Review, Severity and
Likelihood/Probability descriptions. Select Severity and Probability ranking
from the drop down menu. The tool will automatically calculate "Risk Level".
After that, click on Risk Reduction Hierarchy of Controls (HoC) button. Review
the Two-Stage Iterative Approach to the Hierarchy of Controls and Risk
Reduction. Become familiar with Protection Factor (PF) multipliers. Select the
appropriate multiplier from the drop down menu (Row 7). The form will
automatically recalculate Risk Level Future State (FS) after the controls
implementation. Finally, click on RAM FS button. The tool automatically
calculates Risk Reduction and Residual Risk.
