Calculate Risk Potential for Hazards
Explanation
This activity is used to calculate risk potential for particular hazards
registered for a particular risk assessment.
Prerequisites
In order to perform this activity:
- Risk Assessment is required to be registered in the system
- Descriptions and values of frequency, severity and probability of risk
are required to be already defined in the Risk Potential Basic Data
window.

Procedure
- Open the Risk Assessment
window and search or populate to find the relevant risk assessment.
- Go to the Hazards tab and to the Hazards table.
- Select the hazard for which you want to calculate the risk potential.
- In the Probability field, select the description of the risk
likelihood from the list of values. The corresponding probability value
shows in the Probability Value field.
- In the Frequency field, select the option specifying the
frequency of risk occurrence from the value list. The corresponding frequency
value shows in the Frequency Value field.
- In the Severity field, select the description for the severity of
risk from the list of values. The corresponding severity value shows in the
Severity Value
field.
- Save the information. Note that the risk potential is calculated from
all values in the risk calculator and
shown in the Risk Potential field.
