Complete the following table rating;
 Each risks severity on scale from Negligable (N), Low risk (L), Moderate risk (M), Severe (S),
Very severe (V)
 Each risks likelihood on scale from Very unlikely (VU), Unlikely (U), Possible (P), Likely (L), Very
likely (VL)
 Determine the risk factor from the table overleaf.

Calculate the Risk Factor:
Very Unlikely Unlikely Possible Likely Very Likely
Very severe 3 4 4 5 5
Severe 2 3 3 3 5
Moderate 2 2 3 3 3
Slight 1 2 2 3 3
Negligible 1 1 2 2 3
Decide the action to take:
5 Very severe Take immediate action
4 Severe High priority
3 Moderate Risk Programme for action
2 Low Risk Action may be required
1 Negligible Probably acceptable
Then list each risk identified
Hazard no: 2 Risk Factor (1-5) 2
Description In the woods there is a variety of animals and insects present. Such as
dogs that are probably the most dangerous.
