Happens all the time

20. Then

21. Severity 1 2 3 4 5 Aircraft People Equipment Infrastructure No Impact
Superficial damage but, Aircraft still serviceable
Negligible injuries (cuts, bruises and or abrasions )
Superficial Damage 3
Minor repair required to make Aircraft Serviceable
Minor Injuries resulting in time off work
Repairs required
Work required to sustain operations 4

Major Injuries including damage to Limbs etc. Reportable to HSE RIDDOR (UK)
Equipment is written off

Likelihood

24. Red – the risk is unacceptable and action must be taken immediately to reduce it to a tolerable level.
