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
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.
5) Very Likely 5) Catastrophic
