7 MANUAL HANDLING RISK ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES DEGREE OF RISK EVALUATION MATRIX Once you have identified the risks in relation to a certain hazard you need to be able to calculate the Degree of Risk. The Degree of Risk is calculated by assessing the likelihood that injury or damage will occur and the severity (worst case outcome) of that injury or damage to property. Stage 1 each hazard must be evaluated for its likelihood to cause injury or damage to property/equipment. You need to discuss with staff how often people are exposed to the hazard. Exposure/Contact Frequency of Exposure to the Hazard With the Hazard INFEQUENTLY Probability is close to zero OCCASIONALLY Could occur sometimes OFTEN Will occur several times CONSTANTLY Occurs repeatedly/event to be expected ο Stage 2 Next the level of Severity must be decided on. The following needs to be discussed with staff:- Has there been any injuries linked to this hazard in the past e.g. back pain, bruising. Has it caused people to have time off work. What could happen, looking at the worst case scenarios, if an accident happened. The Degree of Risk can then be assessed by using the Likelihood decided on Vs the Severity of the worse case outcome. LIKELIHOOD Maximum probable loss INFREQUENT OCCASIONALLY OFTEN CONTANTLY (Work Related) S E V E R I T Y No injury or No time off work or no property damage Minor Injury or Up to 3 days off work or Minor property damage Major injury or 3 or more days off work or Major property damage Fatality or 4 weeks plus off work or Catastrophic damage LOW LOW MEDIUM MEDIUM LOW MEDIUM HIGH HIGH MEDIUM MEDIUM HIGH VERY HIGH MEDIUM HIGH VERY HIGH VERY HIGH ACH Health & Safety - Appendix 5 (Manual Handling) rev. March
8 Stage 3 Gives a time frame for you to take action to reduce the risks DEGREE OF RISK TIME FRAMES FOR ACTION TO CONTROL DEGREE OF RISK LOW Action if reasonably Practicable Monitor MEDIUM Action Within 3 months if Reasonably Practicable HIGH Action As Soon As Possible within 2 weeks VERY HIGH Action Immediately Stage 4 Insert the Degree of Risk on the Risk Assessment Form in columns (iv) and (vi) ACH Health & Safety - Appendix 5 (Manual Handling) rev.
