BASIC SAFETY METHOD STATEMENTS AND RISK ASSESSMENTS RISK ASSESSMENTS The risk to personnel carrying out a task consists of two elements: a) The LIKELIHOOD of an accident occurring b) The CONSEQUENCE of an injury to persons if an accident does occur First a Rating Number has to be applied for each element using Table 2 below: TABLE 1 LIKELIHOOD Most Unlikely Unlikely Possible Likely Very Likely Certain RATING NO 1 2 3 4 5 6 CONSEQUENCE Trivial injuries Minor injuries Major injuries to one person Major injuries to persons Death of one person Multiple deaths RATING NO 1 2 3 4 5 6

By multiplying the two Rating Numbers together, a Factor Number is obtained of between 1 and 36. When the Factor Number is referred into Table 2 the risks is defined and what actions are necessary. TABLE 2 FACTOR NO. 1-6 8-10 12-36 RISK Low Medium High CONTROL MEASURES Keep control measures under review, fine tuning wherever possible.
