Risk Matrix
Perform a risk assessment for each hazard identified by:
(i) Determining the consequences (refer Table 1);
(ii) Determining the probability of the event occurring (refer Table 2);
(iii) Apply the values obtained from Tables 1 & 2 to the Qualitative Risk Matrix (Table 3) to obtain the resultant Risk Score and Level.
