"LIKELIHOOD LEVEL" REFERS TO THE
PROBABILITY OF AN EVENT HAPPENING. THE
FOLLOWING SCALE HAS BEEN USED TO
DESCRIBE THE LIKELIHOOD OF A DEFINED RISK /
HAZARD EVENT OCCURING DURING NORMAL
OPERATION OF THE EQUIPMENT. NOTE THAT
LIKELIHOOD EVALUATION IS QUALITATIVE AND
BASED ON BEST ESTIMATION VIA
CONSULTATION AND EXPERIENCE:
1. VERY LIKELY
2. LIKELY
3. UNLIKELY
4. VERY UNLIKELY
"CONSEQUENCE " REFERS TO THE SEVERITY
OF INJURY CAUSED DUE TO AN EVENT
OCCURING, USING THE FOLLOWING SCALE AS
DEFINED BY THE "HAZPAK" DOCUMENT:
1. FATALITY = INJURIES RESULT IN DEATH
2. MAJOR = NORMALLY IRREVERSIBLE
INJURIES
3.
MINOR = REVERSIBLE INJURIES
REQUIRING SEVERAL DAYS OFF
4.
NEGLIGIBLE = ABLE TO BE TREATED
USING FIRST AID
"RISK LEVEL" REFERS TO THE SEVERITY OF A RISK BASED
ON THE "LIKELIHOOD LEVEL" AND "INJURY LEVE
L”.
INHERENTLY, AS THE CONSEQUENCE INCREASES IN
SEVERITY, RISK INCREASES
‐
EVEN WHEN LIKELIHOOD IS
LOW
‐
THE FOLLOWING SCALE HAS BEEN USED:
1.
HIGH = POTENTIAL DEATH, PERMANENT DISABILITY, OR
MAJOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.
2.
MEDIUM = POTENTIAL TEMPORARY, DISABILITY, OR MINOR
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.
3.
LOW = POTENTIAL INCIDENT THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL
TO CAUSE PERSONS TO REQUIRE FIRST AID.
