workers as per labour law.

The selected team shall identify all potential hazards and has to evaluate the importance of each with respect to their actual or potential Risk.
Risk is the likelihood of potential harm from a hazard being realized. The extent of risk will depend on:
The likelihood/probability of that harm occurring. The potential severity of that harm, i.e. of any resultant injury or adverse health effect. The population which might be affected by the hazard, i.e. the number of people
who might be exposed. Severity level and probability level for the risk involved in each hazard is assessed and corresponding risk level is derived from the Risk Level Table given below.
Risk Level/ Rating = Hazard Severity x Likelihood of occurrence (Probability)
Likelihood Rating Definition
Rare 1 Highly improbable, never known to occur – Less than 1% chance of being experienced by an organization/individual

Haider Rev. No - 00
 Risk Assessment
Unlikely 2 Improbable, has happened occasionally – Typically experienced once during the working lifetime of an organization/individual
Possible 3 Possible, has happened occasionally - Typically experienced once every five years of less by an organization/individual
Likely 4 Probable, commonly occurs - Typically experienced once every year or less by an organization/individual
Very Likely 5 Inevitable, define, continually occurs - Typically experienced at least once every six months or less by an organization/individual

Severity/Har Definition
m
Negligible No injuries low financial/environmental impact(e.g. Minor cut, burns, hairline fracture, eye irritation, temporary discomfort, low height falls or trips, dehydration, dizziness.)
Slight Minor injuries (e.g., superficial injuries; minor cuts and bruises; eye irritation from dust; nuisance and irritation; ill-health leading to temporary discomfort)
Major injuries, loss or damage, Major fracture, 2nd degree burns, serious sprain, back injury, limb disorders, leading to disability, asthma, reduced hearing or eyesight, sleep disorders, slight
Moderate
pandemic risk(e.g., lacerations; burns; concussion; serious sprains; minor fractures; deafness; dermatitis; asthma; work-related upper limb disorders; ill-health)
Amputations, 3rd degree burns, poisoning, fatal injuries, occupational cancer, life shorting disease, severe head injury, complete loss hearing and eyesight, severe pandemic (H1N1) leading to death.
Severe
(e.g., amputations; major fractures; poisonings; multiple injuries; fatal injuries; occupational cancer; other severely life shortening diseases; acute fatal diseases)
Major Catastrophic (e.g. fatality, explosions, major fire and destruction of property )

The risk assessment should be reviewed if there is reason to suspect that they are no longer valid or there has been a significant change in the matters to which they relate
