Perceived Severity
Your assessment should attempt to reflect the risk you faced, or another individual in your position may face. Do not make provision for luck or comparison with other risks. Where a common credible scenario exists (e.g. different phase of flight) in which the outcome could have been worse, please score this higher risk and describe the context within the narrative. Should the reported occurrence involve loss of life or RIDDOR reportable injury, ‘High’ is to be selected.

High – There are few or no remaining barriers that could credibly have prevented a loss of life or significant injury, leaving outcome to chance.
Medium – The remaining barriers are weak or can be missed, leaving a clear path to loss of life or significant injury.
Low – The remaining barriers appear adequate in the protection they offer against loss of life or significant injury.
Negligible – There is no readily conceivable means through which this occurrence could have led to a loss of life or significant injury.
