2 Risk Assessment Matrix Probability>> 5 Very High VL L M H VH 4 High VL L M H H 3 Moderate VL L L M M 2 Low VL L L L L 1 Very Low VL VL VL VL VL Very Low Low Moderate High Very High Severity>> Probability Score Probability of Occurrence 1 Very Low No significant probability; lightning Strike 2 Low Minimal probability of occurrence. Requires significant factor or combination of factors to take place. Significant increase in intensity of use. 3 Moderate Moderate probability. An added factor is needed to cause an accident. Designed use is unlikely to be problematic, additional factor is required. Covers or guards loose, removed or vandalised. Absent guard rail or barrier at high levels 4 High High probability. Accident is probable without any added factor. Glass contaminant in loose fill surface. Exposed sharp edges on equipment. 5 Very High Very High probability. If the situation is not addressed an accident is almost certain. Severely worn chains/shackles. Severely damaged surfacing within impact area Severity Score Severity of injury 1 Very Low No injury likely e.g. damaged or soiled clothing, minor bruising 2 Low Minor injury Laceration or bruising requiring first aid only 3 Moderate Injury requiring medical intervention e.g. laceration requiring stitches, sprain, fracture of small bones of hand or foot. 4 High Serious injury including hospitalisation for observation e.g. concussion, fracture of long bones of leg/arm, back/neck injuries, fractured skull. 5 Very High Severe injury involving the potential for permanent disability e.g. amputation, loss of sight, spinal injury, fatality. NB: When we inspect we only see a snapshot of the current condition of the equipment. It is the operator s responsibility to ensure that there is a continuing level of maintenance to keep the equipment in good working order and the site fit for use.
