CRITERIA FOR ESTIMATING RISKS

LIKELIHOOD OF HARM OCCURING CRITERIA    

1

Very Unlikely

An incident will only occur in exceptional circumstances and is a very rare

2

Unlikely

An incident is not likely to occur

3

Fairly Likely

An incident may occasionally occur whilst the event is taking place

4

Likely

An incident is likely to occur whilst the event is taking place

5

Very Likely

An incident is almost certain to occur whilst the event is taking place

 

CONSEQUENCE OF HARM OCCURING CRITERIA  

1

Insignificant

Insignificant/very slight Injury – Not likely to require any treatment, no financial loss

2

Minor

Minor injuries/ill health requiring first aid, minimal financial loss to the College

3

Moderate

Injury/ill health requiring time off work, may impact the college due to the financial loss sustained

4

Major

Major injury requiring hospital treatment and possibly life changing, excessive financial loss to the College

5

Catastrophic

Death or High impact on the future running of the college through financial losses

Risk Rating Explanations

RISK LEVEL

ACTION AND TIMESCALES

TRIVIAL

(LTri)

No action is required

MODERATE

(Mod)

Efforts should be made to reduce the risk(s), but the cost of prevention should be carefully measured and limited. Risk reduction measures should be implemented within a defined time period.

Where the moderate risk is associated with extremely harmful consequences, further assessment may be necessary to establish more precisely the likelihood of harm as a basis for determining the need for improved control measures

SUBSTANTIAL

(HSub)

Work should not be started until the risk has been reduced. Considerable resources may have to be allocated to reduce the risk. Where the risk involves work in progress, urgent action should be taken.

INTOLERABLE

(HInt)

Work should not be started or continued until the risk has been reduced. If it is not possible to reduce risk even with unlimited resources. Work has to remain prohibited.

Low/Medium/High Converted Risk Levels

Converted Risk Level

Conversion Explanation

Low

Low Risk Level – Incorporates both Trivial and Tolerable risk ratings (1-4)

Medium

Medium Risk Level – Covers Moderate risk rating (5-10)

High

High Risk Level – Incorporates both Substantial and Intolerable risk ratings (12 -25)
