Risk Assessment of Health and Safety

You can do a risk assessment of an incident or inspection.

Risk Assessment Parameters

You can add a risk assessment for an incident or inspection and select consequence and values to derive a risk score. The consequence indicates the impact on the organization, for example, insignificant, moderate, or catastrophic. The likelihood indicates the possibility of occurring, for example, remote, frequent, or repeated. Based on the consequence and the likelihood values the risk score is automatically calculated and displayed along with a description of what the score means. You can enter a date for the risk assessment and also add multiple risk assessments as of different dates.

Risk Assessment Setup

You can change the values displayed in the Consequence and Likelihood fields, and also change the risk score calculation. You can update the consequence, likelihood, and risk score values and their descriptions using the Manage Environment, Health, and Safety Risk Assessment task in the Setup and Maintenance work area. In the Consequence and Likelihood sections, you can change the existing name, value, and description. The risk score is calculated by multiplying the consequence and likelihood values. You can change the risk score range and the name and description for risk scores falling in that range.
