Assessing existing risk controls is an important step in conducting a comprehensive risk assessment. When assessing controls at your facility, consider the following three criteria:

  • The likelihood of an event. This means the inherent probability of risk occurring without considering existing controls.

  • The effect of a potential event. Assess the potential significance of a risk without considering existing controls.

  • The existing risk factor. This refers to the estimated percentage of unmitigated risk when considering existing controls.
