Severity 1 2 3 4
Negilible 1 1 2 3 4
Minor 2 2 4 6 8
Serious 3 3 6 9 12
Fatality 4 4 8 12 16

Risk Ranking
Severity = How serious the result of the incident might be in terms of injury or loss
Probability = How likely the hazard will result in incident
Risk = Severity x Probability

Low risk = 1 - 3 (Level acceptable and to be monitored)

Medium risk = 4 - 8 (Level accetable and should be reduced if practicable)
High risk = 9 - 16 (Level not acceptable and task must be stopped and reduced to an acceptable level
before continuing)
