Use these Risk Management Matrices for tasks 2 and 4.
LIKELIHOOD SCALE
Level Likelihood Description
A Almost Certain The event is expected to occur in most circumstances.
B Likely The event will probably occur in most circumstances.
C Possible The event should occur at some time.
D Unlikely The event could occur at some time.
E Rare The event may occur only in exceptional circumstances.
SEVERITY SCALE
Level Detail Detail and Potential Cost
V Catastrophic Death, incident not restricted to on-site and detrimental impact. More than $50,000.
IV Major Extensive injuries, work halted, incident not restricted to on-site but no adverse impact. Less
than $50,000.
III Moderate Medical treatment required, on-site incident contained with outside assistance. Less than
$5,000.
II Minor First aid treatment, contained on-site incident. Less than $1,000.
I Insignificant No injuries, no damage, no pollution, no adverse impact. Nil cost.

Low Risk Levels require controls to be assessed, but the frequency of the hazards occurring and their severity are at a level
that would not cause or contribute to a major incident occurring. The resultant consequence would be low. This risk level
includes hazards such as trips, slips and falls.
Medium Risk Levels encompass those hazards that have a greater severity or frequency of occurrence and consequence.
This risk level is still lower than those that would contribute to a major incident and includes such things as manual handling
and minor vehicle accidents. The level of control will be higher than for those at a low risk level.
High Risk Levels encompasses hazards that are normally low in frequency but can contribute to a major incident. Even
though the frequency is unlikely, they require mandatory controls due to the fact that failure may have catastrophic
consequences. An example of this risk level includes a fire in a building or the failure of a harness around a person whilst
working at heights greater than 2 metres.
Extreme Risk Levels include all hazards that will contribute to a major incident. They may have a frequency that is highly
unlikely, but the severity will be catastrophic such as hazards that potentially involve one or more fatalities.
