RPN Score Control Measures
A risk identified as LOW may be considered as acceptable and further
Green reduction may not be necessary. However, if the risk can be resolved
(1-4) quickly and efficiently, control measures should be implemented and
recorded.
A MEDIUM risk requires a planned approach to controlling the hazard and
Orange applies temporary measure if required. Actions taken must be documented
(5-12) on the
risk assessment form including date for completion.
A HIGH risk requires immediate action to control the hazard as detailed in
Pink the hierarchy of control. Actions taken must be documented on the risk
(15-25) assessment form including date for completion.
