Note: Risk assessment is based on method statement attachment.

In order to determine the risk of a hazard, multiply its likelihood rating by its severity rating. The higher the score, the higher the risk is and the higher the hazard's priority
for workplace precautions or other actions. These ratings have to be subjective. They depend on your judgment given your knowledge at the time. Further, they are not
absolute, 0 does not mean it can never happen. Note that if there is zero likelihood or zero severity, the hazard will have zero risk. The law says that risks should be
reduced “so far as is reasonably practicable”.
Since risk = likelihood x severity, there are only three basic ways of reducing risk.
1. Reduce the likelihood
2. Reduce the severity
3. Reduce both the likelihood & the severity
