These are considered to be high-level risks requiring priority attention. These risks have the potential to greatly
affect the interpretation/readings and as such should be addressed quickly.

These are medium-level risks requiring action, but are not as critical as a red coded risk.

Green (light and dark green) – These are lowest-level risks and indicate a need for continuing awareness and
monitoring on a regular basis. Whilst they are currently low or minor risks, some have the potential to increase
to medium or even high-level risks and must therefore be regularly monitored and if cost effective mitigation can
be carried out to reduce the risk even further this should be pursued.
