โ ๏ธ HOW ARE RISKS RATED DURING HIRA?
Identifying a hazard is only the first step. A Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) also helps determine how serious the risk is.
Risk is commonly rated by considering:
๐น Likelihood โ How likely is the incident to happen?
๐น Severity โ How serious could the consequences be?
These factors are used to determine the risk rating which helps organizations prioritize which hazards need attention first.
๐ Identify it. Assess it. Control it.
A good HIRA helps turn hazards into informed safety actions. ๐ฆบ
