Assessment guide

Ratings use an illustrative 5 × 5 matrix: likelihood × consequence. Low 1–4, Moderate 5–9, High 10–16, Extreme 17–25. Agree suitable definitions and response priorities for your project or workplace.

Initial ratings describe the risk with existing controls. Residual ratings are your assessment after planned controls; they do not confirm those controls are effective. Use the status, review date and review notes to record follow-up.
