NOTE: For the CONSEQUENCE evaluation the RA Team should always assess all categories (Health/Environmental/Assets/Reputation) and mark the highest
score assessed on Table 2.

RISK MATRIX

1) RA team evaluates the Risk Level based on the “Frequency” and “Consequences” as estimated by the Risk Assessment process, and
categorizes the possible combinations to
be: High, Medium or Low risk within the above Risk Matrix.
2) RA team defines in RISK FACTOR / ACTION AND TIMESCALE table below the response, once the Risk Level has been
determined.
MODERATE Efforts should be made to reduce risk, but the costs of prevention should be carefully
measured and limited. Risk reduction measures should normally be implemented
(4-6)
within a defined period of time.
Work should not be started or continued until the risk level has been reduced and
HIGH
INTOLERABLE risk numbers enters the Yellow or the Green area. While the additional control
measures should be cost-effective, the Company’s duty to reduce the risk is
(> 8)
absolute. If the control measures are not possible to reduce the risk, even with
unlimited resources, then the work must not be started or must remain prohibited.
The RISK SCORE, which is the outcome of the Risk Matrix will be used in the ASSESSMENT OF THE RISK LEVEL USING RISK CRITERIA (STEP
5).
Company uses the above table RISK FACTOR / ACTION AND TIME SCALE, as a guideline for this purpose.

The new RISK SCORE, which is the outcome of the Risk Matrix, will be used in the ASSESSMENT OF THE RISK LEVEL USING RISK
CRITERIA (STEP 5).
Use the table RISK FACTOR / ACTION AND TIME SCALE (STEP 5 table), as a guideline for this purpose.
IF ADDITIONAL CONTROL MEASURES NOT REDUCE THE RISK IN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL, ASSESSMENT MUST BE REPEATED BY ADDING
FURTHER CONTROL MEASURES. IN THIS CASE OFFICE ASSISTANCE MUST BE REQUESTED AND THE ACTIVITY UNDER ASSESSMENT
SHOULD NOT BE CARRIED OUT UNTIL OFFICE INSTRUCTIONS AND/OR ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED.
