Risks are the result of hazards
and relate to the gravity of
possible damage and the
probability of the damage
occurring.
Definition and concept of risk
Risk without
safety measures
Adequately reduced
Residual risk
Necessary minimum risk reduction
Actual risk reduction
Severity
of the possible
damage
Frequency and duration
of the exposure to hazard
Options for avoiding
or limiting the damage
Probability of an event
that could cause the
damage occurring
Probability
of the damage
occurring
Risk
in terms of the
respective hazard
Safety = acceptable residual risk
High risk Low risk
