Multiple Hazard <strong>Risk</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong>WHSMS Framework Tool B2A3.4Instructions1. Complete a new line, in the above table, for each identified hazard <strong>and</strong> conduct a risk assessment (RA).2. Use the risk matrix below to risk rate (RR) the level of risk posed by each hazard for the following scenarios, uncontrolled (i.e. the risk the hazard presents without any controls),controlled (i.e. the risk the current controls reduce the risk level to), proposed (i.e. for unacceptable risk, the risk the proposed new control will reduce the risk level to).3. For each scenario, indicate whether the controlled risk is Acceptable/Not acceptable.<strong>Risk</strong> matrixE: Extreme risk — detailed action plan requiredH: High risk — needs senior management attentionM: Medium risk — specify management responsibilityL: Low risk — manage by routine proceduresNote: High or Extreme risks must be reported to seniormanagement <strong>and</strong> require detailed treatment plans toreduce the risk to Low or Medium.PeopleInjuries orailments notrequiring medicaltreatmentMinor injury orfirst aid treatmentcaseConsequencesSerious injurycausinghospitalisation ormultiple medicaltreatment casesLife threateninginjury or multipleserious injuriescausinghospitalisationDeath or multiplelife threateninginjuriesFinancial1% of budget or$5MInsignificant Minor Moderate Major CatastrophicProbability Historical 1 2 3 4 5Likelihood>1 in 10Is expected to occurin mostcircumstances1 in 10–100 Will probably occur 41 in 100–1,000 Might occur at sometime in the future1 in 1,000–10,000Could occur butdoubtful5 Almostcertain32LikelyPossibleUnlikelyM H H E EM M H H EL M M H EL M M H E1 in 10,000–100,000May occur but only inexceptionalcircumstances1RareL L M H ESource: Adapted from AS/NZS 4360: 2004, <strong>Risk</strong> Management <strong>and</strong> Australian Capital Territory Insurance Authority (<strong>ACT</strong>IA) 2004, <strong>Risk</strong> Management Toolkit, <strong>ACT</strong>IA, Canberra, viewed16 June 2009, < http://www.treasury.act.gov.au/actia/<strong>Risk</strong>.htm>.NB: The <strong>Risk</strong> Matrix has been modified to reflect that in the context of health <strong>and</strong> safety any chance, even a rare occurrence, of a death or multiple life threatening injury is consideredextreme.CFC Canberra Museum <strong>and</strong> Gallery – Every Picture Tells a Story (onsite) <strong>Risk</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> B2A3.4 Version 1.0 — 22/02/2012 Page 7 of 7
