LOW
Any task that has this risk ranking is generally acceptable. The work environment and methodology presents minimal risks to personnel.
MEDIUM
Any task that has this risk ranking is only acceptable if the Risk is As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). ALARP assessments should be completed by suitably qualified and
experienced persons. Personnel completing tasks which are in this band should be fully aware of the risks which exist and the control measures put in place to minimise them.
HIGH
Any task that has this risk ranking must not be completed. It should be refined or further control measures put in place to reduce risk.
