Risk Rating

1-4 5 -9 10 - 15 16 - 20 20 - 25
Risk Rating = Severity (S) x Likelihood (L)

The risk assessment matrix below (TABLE 1) should be used to calculate the risk level (Likelihood x Severity). Consideration may also be given to
property damage or business risk; this can be added to the severity section as appropriate. Once the risk has been calculated the priority for action
can be set from TABLE 2.
