    • The risk matrix used in the associated risk assessment evaluates the risk level for the hazard.
      • The severity and likelihood of the hazard before controls are evaluated to show the hazard's risk level in the Inherent risk field on the form.
      • The severity and likelihood of the hazard after controls are evaluated to show the hazard's risk level in the Residual risk field on the form. After controls, the risk level should be reduced.
