1. The “Risk Matrix” or Table of Overall Risk
The Risk Matrix is a useful tool in the assessment of the severity of overall risk. It is intended to allow the relationship between the likelihood of
incident/injury occurring and the possible severity of outcome. By comparing these two factors against each other, a Risk Rating can be arrived at,
employing a scale between ‘A’ (highest risk) and ‘E’ (lowest risk).
Risk Likely Rating, on a scale of ‘A’ to ‘E’ (‘A’ being the highest)

Further necessary measures,

Fire Everyone Fatal Unlikely E+ Fire/Smoke alarms in place. Smoking will not
be permitted indoors.
Fire Alarms in place, actors will be
escorted to evacuation gathering
under the supervision of security
managers.
Tripping on wires/falling off stage Actors Major Remote D Participants will be asked to use stairs to
enter/exit the stage. The band set up is far
from the stage edge. There is no possibility
of a serious trip due to wires as the guitar
adapters are not actually connected to the
amplifiers.
College health service will be
contacted in case of an emergency.
Tripping of Rig lights/Tripod Crew Minor Possible D We will place the legs of the tripod/rig lights
in such a way so that if they are to fall they
would fall away from the participants.
The rig lights and camera tripod are
extremely light but the college
health service will be contacted in
case of an emergency.
