Baseline Risk Assessment

PROJECT: Generator Repair and Maintenance Contract at Groenkloof Facilities

Risk Rating is measured by determining the Likelihood (L) and Consequence (C) and using the Matrix to determine the Risk Rating (R).
Risk Ranking below 10 is deemed Tolerable, between 11 and 19 is deemed Medium Risk and above 20 is deemed High Risk
