Question 34 CITY_GUILDS_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2024 • ENGINEERING • objective

A workshop risk assessment lists three hazards with the following probability (P) and severity (S) scores (on a 1-5 scale): Hazard A - P = 4, S = 3; Hazard B - P = 2, S = 5; Hazard C - P = 3, S = 2. The overall risk rating for each hazard is calculated as \(R = P \times S\). After implementing control measures, the probabilities change to: Hazard A - P = 2; Hazard B - P = 1; Hazard C - P = 2 (severity scores remain unchanged). Compute (a) the total risk rating before the controls, (b) the total risk rating after the controls, and (c) the percentage reduction in total risk.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. Initial total risk 28, after controls 15, reduction ≈46.4%
B. Initial total risk 26, after controls 13, reduction ≈50.0%
C. Initial total risk 30, after controls 14, reduction ≈53.3%
D. Initial total risk 28, after controls 16, reduction ≈42.9%
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
Initial total risk 28, after controls 15, reduction ≈46.4%
