cinema, the workplace was not barricade due to which running child hit ladder and the ladder
fell and which caused the accident.
17 Severity
 Rating severity as 3 major injury
Reason
In worst case scenario if young worker fell down during the activity of hanging the banner due
to this he may be disable permanently.
Risk level =likelihood × severity
Risk level= very likely × major injury
Risk level=3 × 3
Risk level=9
Result=high risk

risk.
(b) Shoe how the matrix can be used to confirm the risk level of the banner hanging activity is
acceptable

worker from falling hazard and worker can easily do his job without fair of falling from
height.
2 severity
