Hazard / Risk Matrix Reference: Workplace Health and Safety Queensland - Risk Assessment - Supplement 2 Risk Management Code of Practice 2007
Step 1 Determine Likelihood – What is the possibility of the event happening? Criteria Description Almost certain Expected in most circumstances. Event is a common problem Likely Will probably occur in most circumstances. Event is known to have occurred at this site or it has happened Possible Might occur at some time Event could occur at the site or I’ve heard of it happening Unlikely Could occur at some time Event is not likely to occur at the site or I have not heard of it happening Rare May occur only in exceptional circumstances Event is practically impossible.
Step 2 Determine Consequence - What will be the result if it happens? Step 3 Determine the risk score
Classification Example detail description CONSEQUENCE Insignificant No injuries LIKELIHOOD Insignificant Minor Moderate Major Catastrophic Minor First aid treatment only; spillage contained at site. Almost certain 3 High 3 High 4 Acute 4 Acute 4 Acute Moderate Medical treatment; spillage contained but with outside help. Likely 2 Medium 3 High 3 High 4 Acute 4 Acute Major Extensive injuries; loss of production Possible 1 Low 2 Medium 3 High 4 Acute 4 Acute Catastrophic Death; toxic release of chemicals Unlikely 1 Low 1 Low 2 Medium 3 High 4 Acute
Rare 1 Low 1 Low 2 Medium 3 High 3 High Step 4 Record risk score against the job sequence steps (Note – Risk scores have no absolute value and should only be used for comparison and to engender discussion.) Score Action 4 ACT NOW – Urgent – do something about the risks immediately. Requires immediate attention. A: Acute 3 Highest management decision is required urgently. H: High 2 Follow management instructions. M: Medium 1 OK for now. Record and review if any equipment/ people/ materials/ work processes or procedures change. L: Low
