Likelihood Criteria
Rating
Score
Description
Almost
Certain
High likelihood of risk event happening several times within the next
year.
Probable
A risk event is likely to occur more than once in the next 12 months.
Possible
Would not surprise if risk event occurred, and will probably occur at
some time in the coming 2 to 5 years.
Unlikely
The risk event could occur at some time but is unlikely.
Rare
Within the realms of possibility but extremely unlikely to occur. Occurs

once in 10 years.
Actions Required
Time frames to ensure that risks are removed.
Required action
Risk level
Action required immediately:
Critical
The proposed task or process activity must not proceed. Steps must be taken to lower the risk level to
as low as reasonably practicable using the hierarchy of risk controls.
Action required today:
The proposed activity can only proceed, provided that:
High
the risk level has been reduced to as low as reasonably practicable using the hierarchy of risk
controls;
the risk controls must include those identified in legislation, Australian Standards, Codes of
Practice etc.
the risk assessment has been reviewed and approved by the Supervisor and
a Safe Working Procedure or Safe Work Method has been prepared.
The supervisor must review and document the effectiveness of the implemented risk controls.
Action required this week:
Medium
The proposed task or process can proceed, provided that:

the risk level has been reduced to as low as reasonably practicable using the hierarchy of risk
controls;
the risk assessment has been reviewed and approved by the Supervisor and
(iii) a Safe Working Procedure or Safe Work Method has been prepared.
Action required this month:
Low/Very Low
Managed by local documented routine procedures which must include application of the hierarchy of
controls.
