Risk Matrix

Example

The Risk Assessment window shown in the following image was accessed from an Action record in ASM.

You can see that the 

 icon appears in the Risk Matrix, so you know that the values represent

mitigating action (the name of the window also indicates this, by default).

You can see that the 

 icon appears in the cell that contains the value 5, indicating that the mitigated

risk for the Safety category is 5. This value also appears on the Safety tab. The cumulative Mitigated

Risk Rank appears to the left of the Risk Matrix.

Disabled cells in a risk matrix

A cell may be disabled in the risk matrix when you are defining a mitigated risk assessment. This is

because you can only select a consequence or probability value that is less than the unmitigated

consequence or probability value.

Disabled cells will be colored slightly lighter than the enabled cells of the same color. For example, in the

following image, you can see that some cells are slightly lighter, indicating that you must select a

probability value less than or equal to 1 and a consequence value less than or equal to 100.

Another scenario where certain cells will be disabled in each matrix is if the Lock Mitigated

Consequence check box is selected in the Risk Matrix record. In this scenario, when you are defining a

mitigated risk assessment, you will not be able to modify the consequence value. Instead, you will be able

to modify only the probability value.
