8. Likelihood of an accident occurring
Score
Likelihood 1
Very little chance of risk happening 2
50% chance of risk occurring 3
High chance of risk happening

9. Severity of accident Score Severity 1 2 3
Low risk which can be easily treated on site 2
Medium risk which would need medical assistance i.e. calling 999 3
High risk would lead to death or a serious injury

10. Risk Rating = Likelihood (L ) x Severity (S)1 2 3 4 6 9
Low
Medium
High
Risk rating of 1 or 2
Risk rating of 3 or 6
Risk rating of 7 or 9
