The Risk Matrix is a useful tool in the assessment of the severity of overall risk. It is intended to allow the relationship between the likelihood of incident/injury occurring and the possible severity of outcome. By comparing these two factors against each other, a Risk Rating can be arrived at, employing a scale between ‘A’ (highest risk) and ‘E’ (lowest risk).
Risk Likely Rating, on a scale of ‘A’ to ‘E’ (‘A’ being the highest)
Likely severity of outcome | Risk Rating, on a scale of ‘A’ to ‘E’ (‘A’ being the highest) | ||||
Frequent | Probable | Possible | Remote | Unlikely | |
Fatal | A | B+ | C+ | D+ | E+ |
Major | B+ | B | C | D | E |
Minor | C+ | C | D | D | E |
Non- Reportable | D+ | D | D | E | E |
