SECTION 6.0
PASSENGER SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENTS
RISK ASSESSMENTS – Passenger Safety
RATING EXPLANATION
The Ratings used for the purposes of the Risk Assessments recorded in this document are explained on each actual assessment sheet in Section 6.0
Each individual Rating was arrived at with the assistance of the individuals helping our Heath & Safety Consultant who led and conducted the risk assessment exercises.
Risk Assessments Rating can also be represented in a graph as follows:
SEVERITY (S)
F R E Q U E N C Y (F)
A phenomenon of the rating process is that Low risks can, on occasion, still merit sometimes significant remedial measures, whereas situations can also arise where Normal (Medium) or High risks do not attract any suggestions for improvement.
here the balance appears obviously skewed an explanation will be presented (as indicated in Ink Colour Code earlier), but attention to suggestions for improvement in already ‘low risk’ cases should not be ignored because of what may be a scoring ‘accident’, such suggestions will still represent either best practice or legal requirement and are tendered for the benefit of the Company.

Severity Rating (S) with Guide
1 = First Aid Injury
2 = Minor injury (say 3 days off work) 3 = Major injury
4 = Permanent incapacity or death
Risk Rating (RR) = Probability x Severity
Low, Acceptable risk. Any remedial measures helpful rather than essential Normal risk. Implementation of additional practical remedial measures identified is strongly advised where this would result in a reduction of risk
High risk. Implementation of additional practical remedial measures is urgent and essential
Unacceptable risk. Termination of activity is recommended pending full review
