Probability4 -Probable-Likely to occur immediately or shortly 3 -Reasonably probable-Probably will occur in time. 2 -Remote-May occur in time 1 -Extremely remote–Unlikely to occur Severity4 – Catastrophic – Imminent danger exists, hazard capable of causing death and illness on a wide scale3 – Critical – Hazard can results in serious illness, severe injury, property and equipment damage 2 – Marginal -Hazard can cause illness, injury or equipment damage, but ht results would not b expected to be serious 1 – Negligible – Hazard will not result in serious injury or illness, remote possibility of damage beyond minor first aid case. |
Probability | RISK PRIORITY |
Methodology1. Identify Hazards 2. List Hazard Event 3. Calculate risk factor with initial risk rating i.e., probability x severity 4. Detail controls 5. Calculate residual risk factor with final risk rating 6. Enter risk priority 7. Evaluate acceptability of risk |
