Which risk matrix combination would MOST likely be classified as a 'high' risk requiring immediate corrective action?
Answer: High likelihood, high severity
A combination of high likelihood and high severity produces the greatest risk score and demands immediate corrective action.
What is the purpose of a 'near miss' report in a hazard identification program?
Answer: To identify hazards before they result in injury
Near miss reporting captures hazardous events that did not result in injury, enabling corrective action before an actual incident occurs.
