Risk Assessment

Table 4.1: Likelihood of occurrence

(Department of Occupational Safety and Health Malaysia, 2008)

Rating
Likelihood Likelihood based on event
Value
● Highly to occur
5 Most likely ● Event being realized
● For instance, occur few times per week
● Possess a good chance of occurring
4 Possible ● Is not unusual
● For instance, occur once in few weeks
● Might occur at sometime in future
3 Conceivable ● Occasionally occur
● For instance, occur once in few months
● Rarely occur
2 Remote
● For instance, occur once in many years
● Probably never occur
1 Inconceivable
● Practically impossible to occur

15 – 25 HIGH
administrative controls within specified
period e.g. 6 months
