In order to determine the risk of a hazard, multiply its likelihood rating by its 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, 0 does not mean it can never happen,
Note that if there is zero likelihood or zero severity, the hazard will have zero risk.
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.
1. Reduce the likelihood 2. Reduce the severity 3. Reduce both the likelihood & the severity
This risk assessment must be communicated to operatives before work commences. A separate approved sheet should be used and be made available to the operatives for reference.
