Severity and Likelihood Table.

Risk Rating (Severity – Likelihood matrix)

In general the above matrix can be used for evaluation.  It can be used to provide an initial breakdown of the hazards into categories.  The darker shading identifies where it will be more than likely the risks are not adequately controlled.

The non-shaded areas where the risk ratings are low can be usually considered as minor risks.

The hazards that are shaded which are below the lower double line can be considered as adequately controlled risks.

The hazards which have risk ratings between the two double lines need to be examined against current standards and a decision needs to be made as to whether they are adequately controlled or not adequately controlled.

All hazards which are above the top double line must be considered as not having adequate control measures in place.  All hazards with a risk rating that appears in the shaded area are considered as High Risk and operations need to be suspended or control measures introduced immediately.
