Risk Assessment Matrix (RAM)
To be used during Risk Assessment in the creation of a JSEA/SWMS for an activity as per Section 4. of the
JSEA/SWMS Procedure
Step 1 - Determine the probability of an event occurring
PROBABILITY
COMMENT
VERY LIKELY
A 70% OR GREATER CHANCE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN
POSSIBLE
A 50% TO 70% CHANCE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN
(2) UNLIKELY
A 20% TO 50% CHANCE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN
(1) EXTREMELY UNLIKELY
A 10% OR LESS CHANCE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN
Step 2 - Assess the most likely consequence of the event

 FAC or MTI
 Vehicle Incident
 Up to $10,000 damage

Step 3 - Determine the level of risk: LOW = .Green_, MEDIUM =
 Isolated community complaints (<5)
 Impact confined to site
 Requiring action/control but with minimal
impact
 Several community complaints (5-10)
 Local media interest
 Off-site impact contained (e.g.: spill on
impermeable area)
 Possible infringement notice
 Multiple community complaints (>10)
 Regional media interest
 Off-site impact uncontained (e.g.: polluted
waterway groundwater, drain)
 Possible prosecution
