This document contains a general risk assessment form for the BBC. It includes: 1) An outline of the proposed risk assessment, listing team members, contractors, and the site/location involved. 2) A list of potential hazards sorted into categories like situational, physical/chemical, health, and environmental hazards. 3) A risk matrix for determining the likelihood and severity of harm for each identified hazard, ranking the risk from very low to extremely high. The form provides structure for identifying risks, evaluating their potential impacts, and determining the appropriate risk level for BBC activities.

Risk matrix - u se this to determine isk for
each hazatd i.e. 'how bad and how likely' Likelihood of Harm
Severity of Harm
Remote
e.g. <1 in 1004 chance
Unlikely
e.g 1 in 200 chance
Possible
e.g. 1 in 50 chan@
Likely
e.g. 1 in 10 chance
Probable
e g >1 in 3 chance
Negligible e.g smailbrulse Very low Very low Very low Low Low
Slight e.q. smallcut, deep bruise Very low Very low Low Low Medlum
v€ry low Low Medium Medium
Severe e.g. fracture, loss ol consciousness Low Medlum Extremely high
Very Severe e g. death, pemanent disability Low Medium Extremely high Extremely high
