THIS MATRIX MUST BE USED TO RATE THE CRITICALITY OF TASKS

1. SEVERITY INDEX

0 – No risk of injury, illness or quality / problems.

2 – Minor risk of injury, illness not a lost time, non disruptive property damage, quality/production problems resulting
in loss between R1 000-00 – R10 000-00.

4 – Risk of a lost time injury without permanent disability, disruptive property damage quality / production or other
losses between R10 000-00 – R50 000-00.

6 – Risk of permanent disabling injury, loss of life/body part or other losses exceeding R50 000-00.

2. Frequency Index

NO TIMES TASK PERFORMED BY EACH

PERSON

NO OF PERSONS PERFORMING LESS THAN FEW TIMES MANY TIMES

TASK DAILY PER DAY PER DAY

MODERATE NO. 1 2 3

MANY 2 3 3

3. Probability Index

0 Moderate probability

+1High probability

Factors to be Considered

- How dangerous is the task

23-03-2012
 Title: RISK ASSESSMENT FIBRECO PROJECT

No.: BRN-HSE-ZTE-PLN-012 - Rev 2

- How difficult is the task

- Complexity of task

- The chance that there will be a loss if task is performed improperly

- Any rating above 8 will require actions to address issues e.g. procedures, guarding, training etc.

PRIORITY GUIDE

Once a risk rating has been calculated, the following scheme should be used to assign priority of action. It should be
noted that if action is not taken within the time specified, then the continued toleration of the residual ‘downside’ risk
should be explicitly authorized. The suggested level of seniority for authorization is as shown below.

Priority Risk Suggested action Authority for continued

toleration of residual risk
Rating

1 Greater than 8 Cessation until the residual risk is PD

reduced to 8 or below - unless
exposure is authorized as
indicated.

2 6–8 Take action to reduce residual risk PD

to 6 or below

3 4–6 Specific action to deal with risk PD

daily

4 2–4 Plan in keeping with all other PD

priorities

5 Below 2 Low priority PD
