H M H H Risk Matrix Likelihood Severity

M L M H L = Very unlikely L = First aid injury or illness

Severity L L L M M = Likely M = “3 day” injury or illness

Likelihood H = Almost certain H = Major injury or illness


L M H

Risk = Likelihood Ҳ Severity

L Acceptable M Further review H Unacceptable Risk

Note:

In order to determine the risk of a hazard, multiply its likelihood rating by its severity rating, High, Medium or Low. The higher the rating, the higher the risk, and the highzer
the hazard's priority for workplace precautions, or other actions to be implemented

These ratings have to be subjective. They depend on your judgment given your knowledge and experience at the time.

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
If a Risk is identified as a High or Medium Likelihood or Severity then the risk controls have to take both in to account to reduce the risk to Low
