This document provides a matrix for assessing risk based on severity, probability, and exposure. It defines ratings for each of these criteria on a scale of 1 to 5. It then provides a prioritization grid to determine the action level based on the ratings. Action levels include tolerable risk that is safe to work, tolerable risk that requires control measures, intolerable risk that requires safe procedures or permits, and urgent actions if severity is level 5 or there is a legal concern.

SEVERITY, PROBABILITY, EXPOSURE, MATRIX FOR RISK ASSESSMENT Exposure Grid No of people at Risk 1 Person exposed 2 Persons to 5 Persons 6 Persons to 15 Persons 16 Persons to 25 Persons 25 and above Probability Grid Probability / Likelihood Almost Impossible or very unlikely of the occurrence Unlikely or the occurrence is less than once per year Possible or the occurrence is once or twice per year Probable or the occurrence is once or twice per month Very likely or the occurrence is on a weekly frequency Severity Grid Nature Of Severity There is no injury but only property damage(<Rs 5000/-) There is a minor injury, first aid injury like laceration: (Property damage>Rs.5000/- but less than Rs.20,000/-) There is a serious injury, like reportable injury, property damage > Rs.20000/- <50,000/There is a major injury which may lead to a permanent Disability or property damage beyond repair There is a fatal injury, loss of limb, loss of property and damage to a total plant, equipment or machinery etc., Prioritization Grid: Action Levels Tolerable Risk-safe to work Tolerable Risk Control Measures required Intolerable Risk safe under supervision/safe job procedures/permit etc required Urgent actions to Reduce the risk to manageable levelActivity may be stopped until tolerable level is achieved If: Severity level alone is 5: The action level becomes Urgent If: Legal concern is present: The Action Required becomes High 15
