Risk Matrix

Grid combining likelihood and consequence levels to categorize risk and guide prioritization.

Examples

  1. 01On the 5x5 risk matrix, a likely event with serious injury lands in the red zone and needs action before work continues.
  2. 02In the safety committee, risks are plotted on the risk matrix to compare them and agree on priorities.
  3. 03When a risk stays in the red zone of the risk matrix after controls, the task is stopped until a better solution is found.
