Likelihood Level Descriptions

Likelihood /

Description

Considering the presence and magnitude of the hazard and the exposure to that hazard (number of people and frequency of the tasks exposing those people), as also the status of existing controls...
5
Almost Certain / The unwanted event is almost certain to happen within the LOM (Life of Mine). In the case of repetitive/ frequent tasks the unwanted event has or will occur in order of one or more times per year. In terms of major events, as also in the case of long term health, environmental or social impacts, it may happen only once in the LOM.
4
Likely / There is a high probability that the unwanted event will occur within the LOM. In the case of repetitive/ frequent tasks the unwanted event has occurred or is likely to occur in order of less than once per year. In terms of major events, as also in the case of long term health, environmental or social impacts, it might happen once in the LOM.
3
Possible / It is possible that the unwanted event can occur within the LOM. In the case of repetitive/ frequent tasks the unwanted event has occurred or is likely to occur in order of once every 5-10 years. In terms of major events, as also in the case of long term health, environmental or social impacts, it may possibly happen once in the LOM.
2
Unlikely / There is a low probability for the unwanted event to occur within the LOM. In the case of repetitive/ frequent tasks the unwanted event has occurred sometime or is likely to occur not more than once every 10-20 years. In terms of major events, as also in the case of long term health, environmental or social impacts, there is a low probability for the event to happen in the LOM.
1
Rare / There is a very low probability for the unwanted event to occur within the LOM. In the case of repetitive/ frequent tasks there are no records of the event occurring or it is highly unlikely that it will occur within the next 20 years. In terms of major events, as also in the case of long term health, environmental or social impacts, there is a very low probability for the event to ever happen.

Land / Potential harm on the naturally occurring environment due to the use or management of land resulting from pollution, clearance or any other degradation
Lighting / Potential for harm resulting from excess light or inadequate lighting in the workplace
Mechanical (Fixed) / Potential for harm by exposure to interaction with sources of fixed mechanical energy (including those powered be electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, combustion etc.)
Mechanical (Mobile) / Potential for harm by exposure to interaction with sources of mobile (self-propelled) mechanical energy (including those powered be electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, combustion etc.)
Magnetic / Potential for harm to people, equipment/assets or the environment by exposure to magnetic sources (incl. handling metal objects in strong magnetic fields)
Noise / Potential for harm by exposure to sudden or prolonged exposure to excessive noise or community complaints
Personal / Behaviour / Potential for harm associated with intentional undesired behavioural actions, stresses or stressors
Pressure / Explosions / Potential for harm by exposure to sudden release of pressure from a specific source (incl. pressure waves from explosions, pressurized systems, cylinders, springs, chains, flying bits, or community complaints associated with air blast overpressure etc.)
Psychological / Potential for harm associated with stressors from situations, conditions or events that could create negative emotional, cognitive or behavioural outcomes
Radiation / Potential for harm by exposure to radiation waves whether natural or manufactured sources (characterized as either ionizing or non-ionizing sources)
Social/ Cultural / Potential for positive or negative impacts resulting from interaction of business' activities with social or cultural expectations includes social license to operate
Thermal / Potential for harm by exposure to or variations in temperature (hot or cold) but excludes anything that is on fire which has a separate category
