Risk = Likelihood (Probability) x Severity (Consequence)
Risk Assessment Matrix
Probability
(From Table 2.)
Consequence

Risk Categories Definition
15 - 25 Extreme Risk Activity or industry should not proceed in current form
8 - 12 High risk Activity or industry should be modified to include remedial planning and action and be subject to detailed EHS assessment
4 -6 Moderate risk Activity or industry can operate subject to management and /or modification
1 - 3 Low risk No action required, unless escalation of risk is possible
