RISK LEVEL ACTION AND TIMESCALE

TRIVIAL Insignificant Risk, no action is required.
(1)
ACCEPTABLE Largely acceptable, subject to reviews periodically or after significant changes etc. Consideration maybe given to a more cost effective
(2) solution or improvement that imposes little or no additional cost burden.
MODERATE Medium Risk, Efforts shall be made to mitigate the risk. Risk should only be tolerated for the short term, and then only whilst further control
(3-4) measures to mitigate the risk are being planned and introduced, and these within a pre-defined time period. However, the costs of prevention
should be carefully measured.
Where the moderate risk is associated with extremely harmful consequences, further assessment maybe necessary to establish more
precisely the likelihood of harm, this as a basis for determining the need for improved control measures.
SUBSTANTIAL Work activities shall not be started until the risk has been mitigated. Significant resources may have to be allocated to mitigate the risk. Where
(5-6) the risk involves work in progress, urgent action should be taken.
UNACCEPTABLE Work should not be started or continued until the risk has been mitigated. If it is not possible to mitigate risk even with unlimited resources, the
(9) work should remain prohibited.
