Section 7: Classification of Risk Indicate how the Risk Level Score has been derived (P x F x C) Probability Of Control What is the likelihood of existing controls not working as intended? (Safeguards / LOP) Consider the effectiveness of the controls. Frequency Of Exposure = How often or how long does personnel exposure to the hazard occur? Choose the factor of "1" if personnel exposure is not applicable. Consequence Severity If a control does not work as intended, what is the most likely consequence? Consider the effectiveness of the controls. Risk Level Score P x F x C Risk Rating Risk Rating Risk Rating Risk Level Score 0.5 Highly Effective: Hazard no longer exists, it has been eliminated 1 Very rare: Occurrence no more than once per year or is not applicable 1 Near Miss: No injury, no pain, no damage 0 to 11 (Level I Risk) Low reasonably practicable control measures should be introduced to reduce the risk. 1 Effective: Highly effective safeguards & controls, multiple engineering controls & multiple administrative controls 1.5 Rare: Occurrence likely 2 to 11 times per year 3 Minor: Minor Injury, no long term effects, minor damage to equipment 12 to 80 (Level II Risk) 2 Somewhat Effective: Somewhat effective safeguards & controls, minimal engineering controls & some administrative controls 2 Unusual: Occurrence likely at once per month 7 Moderate: 3M Recordable Injury / Damage to equipment 81 to 160 (Level III Risk) Moderate Control measures will be required and must be implemented. 4 Somewhat Ineffective: Somewhat ineffective safeguards & controls, engineering controls do not function adequately & minimal administrative controls 3 Occasional: Occurrence likely at once per week 15 Serious: Loss time work injury / Irreversible damage to equipment 161 to 600 (Level IV Risk) 6 Ineffective: Engineering controls do not exist & inadequate administrative controls 4 Daily: Occurrence likely at least once per day 40 Severe: Long Term Absence / Significant Investment Loss 601 to 1600 (Level V Risk) High Immediate action must be to reduce the risk. The task must not continue until control measures have been implemented. 8 Highly Ineffective: Engineering Controls do not exists & administrative controls are missing or not followed 6 Repetitive: Occurrence frequently throughout the shift 100 Catastrophic: Death / Business Interruption 1601 to 4800 VI Risk) Section 8 : Evaluate risks and determine whether further actions are required
