Executive Summary
On this page, you should summarize the purpose of the report which is to provide a risk
assessment and management recommendations for various scenarios (be specific on the
scenarios), but be short, concise and to the point). Include the major findings (do not discuss the
methodology or specifics). The purpose of the executive summary is to give the decision-makers
the down and dirty on their problems, options to mitigate or eliminate the issue, and if possible,
the estimated costs involved.

Background
On _______________ (date), Student Name was asked to perform the following services:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
List all the required obligations of the report.
Do not write the report in first person. (No use of words such as I, we, our, etc.)
Part I
Provide your response to Part I requirements.
Part II
Provide your response to Part II here. Only provide the results of your assessment and discuss
the methodology employed to obtain that result, including why you chose a specific rating for
Severity and Probability. Provide the before and after matrices in Appendix (A).
Part III
Provide your response to Part III here. Only provide the results of your assessment and discuss
the methodology employed to obtain that result, including why you chose a specific rating for
each factor. Provide the before and after matrices in Appendix (B).
Part IV
Provide your response to Part IV here. Only provide the results of your analysis for both the Risk
Score and J-Value and discuss the methodology employed to obtain that result, including why
you chose a specific rating for each factor. Ensure that you discuss the meaning of each result
and provide the answer to the following questions:
(1) Whether the cost to correct a hazard is justified; and
(2) How quickly the hazard should be corrected.
Provide all calculations in Appendix (C).
Summary and Conclusions
Provide a good general summary on risk assessment and the value and use of each method in the
field of occupational health and safety.

used when there are multiple risks and they must be prioritized.

High
>250 and 50 and 5 and 10, the cost is justified
If J < 10, the cost is not justified
In order to perform the calculations a set of values for each category must be provided, which are similar to
those in the qualitative risk assessment code examples. The following is a list of those codes, by category
(Note: These values may be modified by the organization to meet their specific needs. For example, if a
consequence for the organization can be catastrophic at $100,000, then the $100,000 category can be given a
value of 100. Of course, all other factors must be modified, as well):

Title
Disabling injury; damage up to $1,000
Minor injury or damage
Exposure (E)
Continuously (many times in a day)
Frequently (about once a day)
Occasionally (once per week to once per month)
Unusually (once per month to once per year)
Rarely (it has been known to occur)
Remotely possible (not know to have occurred)
Probability (P)
Is the most likely expected result if the hazard event takes place
Is quite possible, not unusual, has an even (50-50) chance
Would be an unusual sequence or coincidence
Has never happened after many years of exposure, but is conceivably possible
Practically impossible sequence (has never happened)

Degree of Correction (DC)
Hazard positively eliminated
Hazard reduced at least 75%
Hazard reduced by 50-75%
Hazard 25-50%
Slight effect on hazard (10, the project is definitely justified.
It is no longer acceptable to business managers and decision-makers to accept the old adage “because the
regulations are clear” or “because the regulations say so.” Using the tools described here, both qualitative and
quantitative, the EHS manager will begin to speak the language of business and put it in terms they can
understand. Further, by using quantitative analysis to risk assessment and management, today’s EHS manager
has a far better chance of getting projects through to completion.
