-To make an entry Risk Rating by Likelihood Rating and Potential Severity Rating in accordance with <Table 1> RISK MATRIX (9) Decision of grade for the risk -To make an entry the decided risk grade in accordance with <Table 2> ASSESSMENT STANDARD FOR RISK GRADE (10) Risk reduction measure -To make an entry the risk reduction measure for the decided risk grade 3.3 Method of risk assessment To obtain the appropriate Risk Rating(R) for each activity: (1) Rating the Potential Severity(Consequence)of the identified hazard as 1, 2 or 3 (2) Rating the Likelihood(Frequency) of the hazard happening as 1, 2 or 3 (Risk Rating (R)) = (Potential Severity Rating) x (Likelihood Rating) <Table 1> RISK MATRIX (ex.) (A data of rating depends on company's policy.) Potential Severity Rating(Consequence) 3 Division Fatality 10 days + lost property damage or environmental remedial cost >50,000 USD Unacceptable Major Risk (Intolerable) RR = 9 2 Injury 5 days + lost property damage or environmental remedial cost =30,000 USD Major Risk (Substantial) RR = 6 1 Minor injury 1 day + lost property damage or environmental remedial cost <10,000 USD Controllable severe risk (Moderate) RR = 3

Likelihood Rating (Frequency) to occur 3 Likely12months in next

to occur 2 Likely2, 3years in next

Major Risk (Substantial) RR = 6 Controllable severe risk (Moderate) RR = 3

Controllable severe risk (Moderate) RR = 4 Tolerable Risk RR = 2

Tolerable Risk RR = 2

1 Unlikely to occur

Minor Risk (Trivial) RR = 1

Shaded areas indicate that risks are adequately controlled and tolerable. Therefore, it means that stipulated safeguards/precautionary measures are effectively implemented.

Docu. No. : Page Rev. No. : 6 :

- The risk grade for the risk assessment is decided by Risk degree of "Assessment standard for risk grade".<Table 2> <Table 2> ASSESSMENT STANDARD FOR RISK GRADE Risk grade Risk degree E (1) D (2) Minor Risk (Trivial) Tolerable Risk Measures and period
These risks are considered acceptable. No further action is necessary other than to ensure that the controls are maintained. No additional controls are required unless they can be implemented at a low cost(in terms of time, money and effort).Actions to further reduce these risks are assigned low priority. Arrangements should be made to ensure that controls are maintained. Consideration should be given as to whether the risks can be lowered, where applicable, to a tolerable level, and preferably to an acceptable level, but the costs of additional risk should be taken into account. The risk reduction measures should be implemented within d defined time period. Arrangement should be made to ensure that the control measures are maintained, particularly if the risk levels are associated with harmful consequences. Substantial efforts should be made to reduce the risk. Risk reduction measures should be implemented urgently within a defined time period and it might be necessary to consider suspending or restricting activity, or to apply interim risk control measures, until this has been completed. Considerable resources might have to be allocated to additional control measures. Arrangements should be made to ensure that the control measures are maintained, particularly if the risk levels are associated with extremely harmful consequences and very harmful consequences. These risks are unacceptable. Substantial improvements in risk are necessary, so that the risk is reduced to tolerable or acceptable level. The work activity should be halted until the risk controls that are implemented reduce the risk so that it is no longer very high. If it is not possible to reduce the risk that the work should remain prohibited.
