When assessing a hazard such as gusty winds near a building, what two questions define its risk?
- A.How expensive is the aircraft, and how experienced is the client?
- B.How long is the flight, and how far is the site?
- C.How likely is a bad outcome, and how severe would that outcome be if it happened?
Correct answer
C. How likely is a bad outcome, and how severe would that outcome be if it happened?
Why
Risk is the combination of likelihood and severity for a given hazard. A frequent minor problem and a rare catastrophic one need different treatment, and only both questions reveal which is which.
