10 UNSW Concise OHS Risk Rating Table (OHS696) (Refer to OHS328 OHS risk rating procedure and/or OHS307 Hazard and Incident Reporting Procedure ) Step 1 Consider the Consequences What are the consequences of this event occurring? Consider what could reasonably happen with existing controls in place or if an incident has occurred consider what could have reasonably happened as well as what actually happened. Look at the descriptions and choose the most suitable Consequence. Step 2 Consider the Likelihood What is the likelihood of the consequence identified in step 1 happening? Look at the descriptions and choose the most suitable Likelihood Step 3 Calculate the Risk 1.Take the consequences rating (1-5) and select the correct column 2.Take the likelihood rating(a-e) and select the correct row 3. Select the risk rating where the two ratings cross on the matrix below. VH = Very high, H = High, M = Medium, L = Low CONSEQUENCES 5. Severe : death or permanent disability to one or more persons 4. Major : hospital admission required 3. Moderate :medical treatment required 2. Minor : first aid required 1. Insignificant: injuries not requiring first aid A. Almost certain: expected to occur in most circumstances B. Likely: will probably occur in most circumstances C. Possible: could occur at some time D. Unlikely: is not likely to occur in normal circumstances E. Rare: may occur only in exceptional circumstances LIKELIHOOD A M H H VH VH B M M H H VH C L M H H VH D L L M M H E L L M M M Risk level Required action Very high Act immediately: The proposed task or process activity must not proceed. Steps must be taken to lower the risk level to as low as reasonably practicable using the hierarchy of risk controls. High Medium Low Act today: The proposed activity can only proceed, provided that: (i) the risk level has been reduced to as low as reasonably practicable using the hierarchy of risk controls; (ii) the risk controls must include those identified in legislation, Australian Standards, Codes of Practice etc. (iii) the risk assessment has been reviewed and approved by the Supervisor and (iv) a Safe Working Procedure or Safe Work Method has been prepared. (v) The supervisor must review and document the effectiveness of the implemented risk controls. Act this week: The proposed task or process can proceed, provided that: (i) the risk level has been reduced to as low as reasonably practicable using the hierarchy of risk controls; (ii) the risk assessment has been reviewed and approved by the Supervisor and (iii) a Safe Working Procedure or Safe Work Method has been prepared. Act this month: Managed by local documented routine procedures which must include application of the hierarchy of controls. Current Version: 3.3, 19/11/2010 Page 10 of 10
