What is the purpose of the Risk Matrix?

The purpose of the Risk Matrix primarily revolves around determining the Risk Assessment Code (RAC). This tool is structured to assist in evaluating potential risks associated with various activities or scenarios, providing a standardized method for assessing the severity and likelihood of those risks. By employing the Risk Matrix, instructors and decision-makers can clearly categorize risks, allowing for informed decisions about safety measures and protocols that need to be implemented.

This analytical approach helps ensure that all potential hazards are considered and appropriately mitigated, fostering a safer training environment for all participants. The proper understanding and application of the Risk Matrix contribute significantly to the overall effectiveness of risk management strategies within the context of the course and its instructional objectives.
