In some instances consideration is given to the possibility that, due to circumstances, there is a possibility that a
“minor“ incident, due to complications may escalate into a “serious” or even “disasterous” injury.
The Risk level score calculation is shown included in column 3 of the Risk Asessment.
RISK SCORE CALCULATIONS
The risk score is a factored in the following order:
Consequence (1 to 6)
1 being lowest consequence
Probablility (1 to 6)
1 being lowest probability
Exposure (1 to 6)
1 being lowest exposure
Below is an example of the method used to calculate the risk scores with the aid of the Matrices.
