What will be the expected outcome?
Likelihood / Criteria / Level of Effect: / Example of each level: / Level of Effect: / Example of each level:
Almost certain / Expected in most circumstances. / Minor / First Aid treatment only; no lost time injury / Negligible Discharge / Minor clean up necessary
Likely / Will probably occur in most circumstances / Moderate / Medical treatment; serious injuries, temporary partial disability; lost time injury < 7 days / Moderate Breach / Spill kit deployed, drains and gutters secured; Workzone personnel and site contact notified
Possible / Might occur at some time / Major / Hospital admittance; extensive injuries; lost time injury > 7 days; Permanent Total Disability injury; death / Major Breach of Environmental Statutes / Fire brigade services required for clean-up; Public diverted or evacuated. Principal Contractor notified.
Unlikely / Could occur at some time / Catastrophic / Multiple Permanent Total Disability injuries; multiple deaths / Shutdown of Project due to Environmental Breach / Site shutdown and emergency services required; evacuation of personnel and public
Step 3: Determine the risk score
Using the above steps, determine the risk score? / Step 4: Record risk score on worksheet (Note – Risk scores are a subjective value and should only be used for comparison and to engender discussion.)
Consequences
People / Minor / Moderate / Major / Catastrophic / Score / Action
Environment / Negligible Spill/effect / Moderate Breach of Environmental law / Major Breach of Environmental law / Shutdown of Project due to Environmental Breach / 4
