RISK ASSESSMENT
Likelihood
How often could the hazard occur? Consider the task, frequency,
duration, method of work, employees involved.

Severity
How serious would the hazard’s effects be if
realised? Consider the type of hazard, biological, ergonomic, physical
and chemical.

Risk = Likelihood x Severity

E.g. Likelihood (4) X Severity (3) = 12 HIGH RISK
