Severity
Risk = likelihood X Severity
Likelihood Severity
1) Very unlikely 1) Insignificant
2) Unlikely 2) Minor
3) Fairly Likely 3) Moderate
4) Likely 4) Major
5) Very Likely 5) Catastrophic
In order to determine the risk, multiply the likelihood rating by
the severity rating. The higher the score, the higher the risk
and the higher the hazard's priority for workplace precautions
or other actions. These ratings have to be subjective. They
depend on your judgment given your knowledge at the time.
Further, they are not absolute. The law says that risks should
be reduced “so far as is reasonably practicable”. Since risk =
likelihood x severity, there are only three basic ways of
reducing risk. Reduce the likelihood. Reduce the severity.
Reduce both the likelihood & the severity.
