When calculating the risk the number of persons exposed and the frequency of exposure to the risk must be taken into account.
Risks that calculate as High MUST have further control measures put into place that reduce the risk BEFORE the activity is carried out.
Medium risk factors should have more control measures introduced where possible to reduce the risk to the lowest possible risk.
