Risk assessment matrix (MIL-STD-882E)
ASP written lesson, 11 min read. ASP Domain 2: Safety Programs and Concepts
AI-drafted from the cited rules and fact-checked against them. Study aid, not site-specific safety advice. The official rule controls.
What you'll learn
- Classify a described outcome into severity categories 1 to 4 using Table I
- Select a probability level A to F using Table II
- Form a RAC and read its risk level from every Table III cell
- Determine residual risk when a control lowers probability but not severity
- Explain why training, warnings and PPE cannot move a mishap to level F
What this lesson covers
This lesson teaches how to turn a hazard into a Risk Assessment Code by choosing one severity category and one probability level, then reading the risk level from the Table III matrix. It matters on the exam and on the job because the code, not a guess, drives risk acceptance and the risk picture after a control is added.
