5 Almost Certain 5 Fatality or paralyzed

4 Very Likely 4 Permanent disability (including

occupational diseases)
3 Likely
3 Temporary disability, LTI more than 3 days
2 Unlikely 2 Minor injury, LTI with up to 3 lost days
1 Very unlikely 1 First Aid injury, Non-LTI

Risk = Likelihood x Severity

0-4 Low (Manage for improvement whereby risk reduction

is not normally undertaken)

Medium (Incorporate risk reduction measure to

5-12 demonstrate ALARP)

High (Intolerable and needs changes to designs and

13-25
procedures)
