2. RISK ESTIMATOR CHART

The Risk Estimator chart should be used as an assistant for filling out the work
method statement.

Severity
Probability Low x1 Medium x 2 High x3
Low x1 Low Probability x Low LP x MS LP x HS
Severity 1 x 1 = 1 1x2 = 2 1x3 =3
Medium x2 MP x LS MP X MS MP x HS
2x1 =2 2x2 =4
2x3 =6
High x3 HP x LS HP X HS HP x HS
3 x 1 =3 3x2 = 6 3x3=9

Significant Risk = High Risk (6-9) or Medium Risk (3-4) in terms of probability and severity
Tolerable Risk = Risk reduced to an acceptable level = Low Risk (1-2)
Residual Risk = Risk remaining after implementing recommended control actions (usually very minor).
