1 DESIGN SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT

A Design Safety Risk Assessment review meeting was held on the %DATE% to formalise risks and
hazards identified during the design process. Attendees at the review meeting were: -

Name Company & Department Project Function Years with

LUL/SSL/BCV

The team agreed to use the risk ratings shown on the Severity, Likelihood and Risk Rating Tables below.

Severity, Likelihood and Risk Rating Tables (originally taken from SSL Procedure SSL-P-33428-
A1)
Table 1 - Severity (S)
Description Code Definition

Fatality A Single or multiple fatality

Fracture of major bone or skull, loss of limb or eye, permanent loss of sight or hearing, acute
Severe Injury B illness requiring medical treatment, unconsciousness where person has to be resuscitated, any
injury leading to more than a month off work.
Fractures to hands, wrist ankles etc, unconsciousness, major burn, amputation of digits (fingers,
Major Injury C toes), temporary loss of sight or hearing, any injury leading to between 3 days and a month off
work
Fracture of digits (fingers, toes), strains and sprains, scratches, cuts, abrasions, bruising, minor
Minor Injury D burn, general discomfort, minor ill health, allergies, minor temporary illness (e.g. eye strain, back
strain), any injury leading to less than 3 days off work

Table 2 - Likelihood (L)

Description Code Definition regarding structure Definition regarding persons
Frequent A Every week Constant exposure to the risk

Likely B Every month Exposure to risk for 80% of working time

Possible C Every year Exposure to risk for 60% of working time

Unlikely D Every few years Exposure to risk for 40% of working time

Remote E Every 10 Years Exposure to risk for 20% of working time

Improbable F Never – extremely unlikely Little or no exposure to the risk

Exposure implies the exposure to the hazard which takes into account the possible failure of any control
measure introduced.
