High: major fracture, poisoning, significant loss of blood, serious head injury, o
Medium: sprain, strain, localized burn, dermatitis, asthma, injury requiring days
Low: an injury that requires first aid only; short-term pain, irritation, or dizzines

These risk ratings correspond to recommended actions such as:

Immediately dangerous: stop the process and implement controls
High risk: investigate the process and implement controls immediately
Medium risk: keep the process going; however, a control plan must be
developed and should be implemented as soon as possible
Low risk: keep the process going, but monitor regularly. A control plan
