Recommendation Actions

Risk level
1-2 Low Risk Acceptable - No additional risk control measures may be needed, need review to ensure risk level accurate.
3-4 Medium Risk Carryout careful hazard evaluation to ensure risk level reduced. Interim risk control measures, management attention required.
6-9 High Risk Reduction of high risk to medium risk before work starts, there should be interim risk control measures, hazard should be
Eliminated before work commences, management attention required before work starts.
