Calculation of risk
UNLIKELY
Isolated or “one-off” occurrence. Unusual
but may have happened before
☐
SLIGHT HARM
Nuisance and irritation, e.g. headaches or temporary ill health leading to discomfort.
Superficial injury, e.g. bruises, minor cuts, eye irritation
☐
LIKELY
Will probably occur several times a year
☐
MODERATE
HARM
Partial hearing loss, asthma, ill health leading to permanent minor disability
Lacerations, burns, concussion, minor fractures, e.g. fingers/toes
☐
VERY
LIKELY
Recurring and frequent, predictable
☐
EXTREME HARM
Severe life shortening diseases, permanent disability, acute fatal diseases
Multiple injuries, major fractures, fatal injuries
☐
Using the following matrix the calculate the overall risk:
Potential severity of injury
Likelihood of injury
Unlikely

Very likely
Very low ☐

Risk level
Action and timescale
Very low risk
These risks are considered acceptable. No further action is necessary other than to ensure that the controls are maintained.
No additional controls are required unless they can be implemented at very low cost (in terms of time, money and effort). Actions to further reduce these risks are assigned low
priority. Arrangements should be made to ensure that the controls are maintained.
Consideration should be given as to whether the risks can be lowered, but the costs of additional risk reduction measures should be taken into account. The risk reduction
measures should be implemented within a defined time period (usually no greater than within 3 months). Arrangements should be made to ensure that the controls are
maintained, particularly if the risk levels are associated with harmful consequences.
Substantial efforts should be made to reduce the risk. Risk reduction measures should be implemented urgently within a defined time period (usually no greater than within 1
month) and it might be necessary to consider suspending or restricting the activity, or to apply interim risk controls, until this has been completed. Considerable resources might
have to be allocated to additional controls. Arrangements should be made to ensure that the controls are maintained, particularly if the risk levels are associated with extremely
harmful consequences and very harmful consequences.
These risks are unacceptable. Substantial improvements in risk controls are necessary, so that the risk is reduced to an acceptable level. The work activity should be
halted until risk controls are implemented that reduce the risk so that it is no longer very high. If it is not possible to reduce risk the work should remain prohibited.
Low risk
Moderate risk
High risk
Very HIgh risk
