Estimate of Risk Level

This is a simple calculation to give an estimate of the level of risk of items of electrical equipment.Risk Assessment

 

Start with a BASE RISK of 0 POINTS then add:

 

  • 2 Points
    If the item is used in a wet or corrosive environment OR uses water or a corrosive substance in its operation. (e.g. Kettle)
  • 2 Points
    If it has a flexible supply cord that is subject to flexing OR that is subject to harsh treatment.
  • 1 Point
    If it has a heating element OR 240V electric motor.

 

 

If the sum is 2 points or more it is GROUP A, High Risk
If the sum is 1 point it is GROUP B, Medium Risk
If the sum is 0 points it is GROUP C, Low Risk
