Seek to quantify the level of risk the likelihood of harm arising based on the number of persons affected, how often they are exposed to the hazard and the
severity of any consequence.
2. List groups of people who are especially at risk from the significant hazards which you have identified
3. List existing controls here or note where the information may be found
4. List the risks which are not adequately controlled and the action you will take. Have regard for the level of risk, the cost of any action and the benefit you expect to

5 Will almost certainly happen 16-25 Stop! Do not start activity again until risk is
controlled
4 Highly likely to happen 10-15 High risk level, High priority. Take action
straight away to control the risk
3 Not so likely 6-9 Medium risk level. Tighten up controls and
make a plan to do something about risk
2 Even less likely 3-5 Fairly low risk level. Low priority but keep
possible action in mind
1 Unlikely to happen at all 1-2 Low or trivial risk. No further action
required.
