level, delay work or restrict activities until the risk has been reduced to a more acceptable level and Review the risk frequently.
Medium (4-6) Introduce control measures to reduce the risk to ALARP levels to reduce the Likelihood (probability) and /or the Consequence (Severity) of hazards.
Low (1-3) "Acceptable" or "Trivial" level of risk which requires no further action provided that the control measures are implemented.
