5×5 matrix with pre-built hazard libraries for 12 industries. Score inherent & residual risks, plan actions, export your register.
Loading a library replaces nothing — rows are appended, so you can mix industries (e.g. manufacturing + logistics + offices).
| # | Activity / task | Hazard | Risk event & consequence | Exposed | L | S | Risk | Existing controls | Additional controls (hierarchy) | L' | S' | Residual |
|---|
Risk = Likelihood (1–5) × Severity (1–5), scored with existing controls in place, then re-scored after additional controls (residual).
| Level | Score | Action required |
|---|---|---|
| Low | 1–4 | Acceptable — maintain controls |
| Moderate | 5–9 | Improve when reasonably practicable (ALARP) |
| High | 10–14 | Planned action required with deadline & owner |
| Critical | 15–25 | Immediate action — restrict activity until reduced |
Likelihood: 1 rare (≈ never in industry) · 2 unlikely (heard of in industry) · 3 possible (occurred here before) · 4 likely (occurs yearly) · 5 almost certain (monthly+).
Severity: 1 first aid · 2 medical treatment · 3 lost time injury · 4 permanent disability / serious env. damage · 5 fatality / multiple / major event.
Hierarchy of controls (ISO 45001 §8.1.2): 1️⃣ Eliminate → 2️⃣ Substitute → 3️⃣ Engineering → 4️⃣ Administrative/training → 5️⃣ PPE. Additional controls should target the highest feasible level — PPE alone rarely moves Likelihood below 3.
