Risk analysis and the safety measures adopted
The charts that follow list and examine the risks in the system after it has been
designed and for each of them it specified what measures have been taken to
overcome them and what the residual risks are

Risk
A (8-4-2-1)
C (4-3-2-1)
R
A Potential of the hazard
A1
Slight (The injury can cause irritation or an injury that can be cured quickly)
A2
Medium-low (injury that can be cured)
A4
Medium-high (injury that cannot be cured or can only be cured in the long term)
A8
High level hazard (serious injury can cause the death of the worker)

Risk
Consequences
1 - 2
Low
Risks characterised by injury /or disorders that are quickly
curable and improbable (residual risk)
3 - 4
Medium low
Risks characterised by medium-serious injuries or
disorders that are however improbable, or those that are
slight but probable
5 - 8
Medium high
Risks characterised by considerable but unlikely injuries
or pathologies that are medium to serious or slight injuries
that are very probable.
9 - 32
High
Risks characterised by very serious accidents or fatal
pathologies that are probable or very probable.
Where the probability of the injury occurring is null, the risk is 0; in this cases no
number is shown in the following table.
