Hirarc Guidelines: Probability of Occurance (Poo) Example Rating

This document provides guidelines for conducting a HIRARC risk assessment. It defines ratings for the probability of occurrence, frequency, and severity of occurrence of hazards on scales of 1 to 5. It then provides descriptions for categorizing the overall risk as high, medium, or low based on a risk rating above 51 being high, 26-50 being medium, and 1-25 being low. Control actions are recommended based on the risk rating.
