Risk Assessment Matrix - Bringing it to Life
A good appreciation of the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) risks in your area of responsibility helps to correctly direct resources for improvement. The Risk Assessment Matrix (RAM) is a tool to rank, assess these risks and discuss what changes need to be made so that the risk is as low as is reasonably practicable (ALARP).
The aim of this brochure is that you and your colleagues will:
- Apply the RAM properly and frequently as a natural way to communicate and plan for HSE improvement.
- Better appreciate your personal role in managing the HSE risk in your area of responsibility.
- Come to a good understanding of your role in demonstrating risk is managed to ALARP levels.
Assessing the risk of a particular scenario should be done in sequence, i.e. first the potential consequences are estimated and only thereafter the likelihood of such consequences occurring are assigned. (A scale of consequences from 0 to 5 is used to indicate increasing severity). After assessing the consequences, the likelihood on the horizontal axis is estimated on the basis of historical evidence or experience that such consequences occurred.
