Civil Explosives - Health and safety - Step Two: Risk Categorisation and Assessment

Each hazard was placed into one of three categories. The risk potential of every identified hazard was assessed using a semi-qualitative assessment tool (5 x 7 matrices). All risks were ranked based on the risk score derived from the perceived Consequence, Exposure and Probability of the risk event occurring. Measurements ranged from Very High (e.g. exposure to open edges on a shot bench, or explosive pump malfunction) to Very Low (excessive exposure to UV radiation, sunlight and minor slips, trips and falls).
