Severity of accident Score Severity 1 2 3 Low risk which can be easily treated on site 2 Medium risk which would need medical assistance i.e. calling 999 3 High risk would lead to death or a serious injury  

Risk Rating = Likelihood (L ) x Severity (S) 1 2 3 4 6 9 Low Medium High Risk rating of 1 or 2 Risk rating of 3 or 6 Risk rating of 7 or 9
