Conduct a Risk Analysis
Probability x Severity = Risk
Risk is a function of probability and severity
What is the probability? How ___________ is it a worker will be injured or
become ill as a result of an exposure? Factors that can increase risk include:
• Number of employees exposed
• Frequency of each exposure
• Duration of each exposure
• Proximity of employees to the point of danger
• Unreasonable workload
• Working under stress (hurry, fatigue, illness, personal problems)
• Environment (noise, light, wind, rain)
Look at the four jobs listed in the previous exercise. How probable is an
injury in each of the jobs (unlikely, likely, very likely)?
Job 1 __________________ Job 2 ______________________
Job 3 __________________ Job 4 ______________________
What is the severity? How ________________ might the injury or illness be as a
result of an exposure (minor, serious, death)? Remember, the severity of an injury is
largely fortuitous.
Look at the four jobs again. How severe might the injury be in each of the
three jobs (minor, serious, fatal)?
