3x3 Risk Assessment Matrix 1

The 3x3 Risk Assessment Matrix evaluates risks based on likelihood and severity, each rated from 1 to 3, resulting in 9 possible risk levels. The final risk score is calculated by multiplying likelihood and severity, categorized into low, medium, or high risk with corresponding color codes. It provides a structured approach for identifying hazards, assessing risks, implementing controls, and continuously monitoring the assessment.

3x3 Risk Assessment Matrix
• The 3x3 Risk Assessment Matrix evaluates risks using two factors:
• Likelihood (Probability of occurrence)
• Severity (Potential impact of the risk)
• Each factor is rated on a scale from 1 to 3,
resulting in a grid with 9 possible risk levels.
The matrix is color-coded to help
decision-makers prioritize risk mitigation.
Key Components of the 3x3 Risk Matrix
• This matrix consists of 3 levels of Likelihood and 3 levels of
Severity, forming a 3x3 grid (total 9 possible risk scores).
• 1. Likelihood (Probability) Levels
Level Description

1 Unlikely (Rarely happens)


2 Possible (Could happen
sometimes)
3 Likely (Happens frequently)
Key Components of the 3x3 Risk Matrix
• This matrix consists of 3 levels of Likelihood and 3 levels of
Severity, forming a 3x3 grid (total 9 possible risk scores).
• 2. Severity (Impact) Levels
Level Description

1 Minor (Little or no
injury/damage)
2 Moderate (Injury requiring
medical attention, moderate
damage)
3 Major (Serious injury or fatality,
major damage)
Risk Rating & Color Coding
• The final risk score is
determined by multiplying
Likelihood × Severity. This
score is then categorized into
color-coded risk levels:
• 1-2 (Low Risk - Green) – Minimal
controls needed
• 3-4 (Medium Risk - Yellow) –
Requires monitoring and action
• 6-9 (High Risk - Red) – Immediate
corrective measures required
How to Use the 3x3 Risk Matrix?
• Identify Hazards – Determine potential risks.
• Assess Likelihood – Rate how often the risk
might occur.
• Evaluate Severity – Determine the impact of
the risk.
• Calculate the Risk Score – Multiply
Likelihood × Severity.
• Implement Controls – Apply necessary
measures to reduce risks.
• Review & Update – Continuously monitor
and adjust the assessment.
Example of Risk Assessment Using 3x3 Matrix
• Scenario: Slippery Floor in a Workplace
• Identify Hazard: A wet floor in a common walkway.
• Assess Likelihood: If cleaning staff do not place warning
signs, someone is likely to slip (Likely - Level 3).
• Assess Severity: A fall could cause a broken bone or
serious injury (Major - Level 3).
• Calculate Risk Score: Likelihood (3) × Severity (3) =
9(High Risk)
• Control Measures:
– Place "Wet Floor" warning signs.
– Improve floor drainage.
– Ensure spills are cleaned immediately.
