Notes: (5) For Cell AS, may be subdivided such that a consequence of less than 0.1% is Low Risk.
(6) When considenng 2 nsk assessment it must be clearly stated whether it 1s for existing conditions or with nsk control measures which may not be implemented at the current

time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RISK LEVEL IMPLICATIONS
Risk Level Example Implications (7)
Unacceptable without treatment. Extensive detailed investigation and research, planning and implementation of treatment
options essential to reduce risk to Low; may be too expensive and not practical. Work likely to cost more than value of the
property.
H HIGH RISK Unacceptable without treatment. Detailed investigation, planning and implementation of treatment options required to reduce
nisk to Low. Work would cost a substantial sum m relation to the value of the property.
May be tolerated m certain circumstances (subject to regulator's approval) but requires investigation, planning and
M MODERATE RISK umplementation of treatment options to reduce the nsk to Low. Treatment options to reduce to Low nsk should be
implemented as soon as practicable.
- Usually acceptable to regulators. Where treatment has been required to reduce the nsk to this level, ongomg maintenance is
L LOW RISK required
VL VERY LOW RISK Acceptable. Manage by normal slope maintenance procedures.

 

 

 

Note: (7) The implications for a particular situation are to be determined by all parties to the risk assessment and may depend on the nature of the property at risk: these are only
given as a general euide.
