Risk Analysis

Qualitative Analysis

For a qualitative analysis, assessment of likelihoods and consequences according to a classification scheme specific to the project. Consequences would be assessed for the areas of interest but would probably include:

  • cost
  • delay
  • personnel safety
  • environmental impact

Risk levels would be determined using a matrix similar to that depicted below:

White Filler Consequences
V.Low Low Mod. High
V. Unlikely Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4
Unlikely Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5
Probable Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Level 6
Highly Likely Level 4 Level 5 Level 6 Level 7
