In a workshop risk‑assessment three hazards A, B and C are identified. Their consequence scores are 4, 3 and 5 respectively (higher means more severe). The probability scores (on a 1-5 scale) satisfy \(p_{B}=p_{A}+1\) and \(p_{C}=p_{A}-2\). The overall risk rating, defined as \(\sum (\text{consequence}\times\text{probability})\), is 29. Determine the probability scores for A, B and C and state which hazard requires the highest control priority (use the highest individual risk product; if tied, choose the hazard with the larger consequence).

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. p_A = 3, p_B = 4, p_C = 1; hazard A has the highest priority
B. p_A = 3, p_B = 5, p_C = 2; hazard B has the highest priority
C. p_A = 4, p_B = 5, p_C = 2; hazard B has the highest priority
D. p_A = 2, p_B = 3, p_C = 0; hazard B has the highest priority
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
p_A = 3, p_B = 4, p_C = 1; hazard A has the highest priority
