Permanent Total Disability Catastrophic Extreme Single fatality. Permanent Total Disability Major High Lost Time Injury >10 days. Incident reportable to relevant Authorities. Moderate Medium Lost Time injury <10 days. Injury or illness requiring Medical Treatment No injury or illness; or Minor injury or illness requiring First Aid treatment Minor Insignificant Low Risk Response: Apply the appropriate response based on the assessed Risk Level RISK MANAGEMENT ACTION RISK LEVEL Extreme High Medium RESPONSE Immediate action required to reduce exposure.
