RISK & ASSURANCE STANDARD RISK MATRIX Hazard Effect / Consequence

RISK MATRIX PROCEDURE:

1. Select the impact that the task or activity will have. 2. Follow in line with the hazard effect/consequence. Numbered 1-5. 3. Draw a straight line to the bottom and indicate what the likelihood might be of the identified hazard. 4. The risk rating will indicate whether the hazard associated is high, significant, medium or low. 5. If the risk is in RED or Orange, work are not allowed to continue until the risk rating has been lowered to medium or low. 6. The risk must be as low as reasonable practicable at all times.

IMPACT:
