A hazard is anything that has the potential to cause harm. This could be something as specialised as a piece of
complicated machinery, or as commonplace as a cup of coffee. If it could be harmful in any way, then it’s a
hazard.
A hazardous event takes place when someone or something interacts with the hazard and allows it to cause
harm. Take a hole in the ground for example. The hole (the hazard), by itself isn’t causing any harm, but if
someone tripped over it (the hazardous event) then it would become harmful. Every hazardous event has a
likelihood and a consequence.
Likelihood is a measure of the chance that the hazardous event will occur. If the hole is in a busy area, such as
a shop entrance, it’s more likely someone will trip over it. However if it’s in an area that doesn’t get a lot of traffic,
such as a back yard, tripping over it would be less likely.
The consequence is the outcome of the hazardous event. If you tripped over a hole, there could be several
possible outcomes; you might land on your feet with no damage at all, you might drop whatever you are carrying,
or perhaps you could end up with a sprained ankle or even a fracture.
Risk is the combination of the likelihood of a hazardous event occurring and the consequence of the event.
Risk
Likelihood Consequence
Score
Very unlikely – might happen once in 5 years 1 No injury
Unlikely – would not happen in 2-3 years 2 Minor - minor injury requiring first aid
Fairly Likely – would expect to happen once a year 3 Moderate - up to three days’ absence
Likely – could occur 2-3 times a year 4 Major – more than three days’ absence
Very Likely – likely to happen 2-3 times a week 5 Catastrophic – Death or multiple deaths
Risk Matrix – this is used for estimating and evaluating the risk it is a commonly used tool. Usually the higher the
risk level, the more serious the risk and the more likely you’ll need to take action.
