Risk Matrix – use this to determine risk for Likelihood of Harm


each hazard i.e. how bad and how likely
Unlikely Possible Likely Probable
Severity of Harm
Negligible e.g. small bruise Very low Very low Low Low
Slight e.g. small cut, deep bruise Very low Low Low Medium
Moderate e.g. deep cut, torn muscle Low Medium Medium High
Severe e.g. fracture, loss of consciousness Medium High High Extremely high
Very Severe e.g. death, permanent disability Medium High Extremely high Extremely high
