A team is assessing risks for a new automated construction project. They identify a critical malfunction risk with a severity of 5 and a likelihood of 2. Using the risk matrix, calculate the overall risk level and suggest measures to achieve ALARP.
Remember to multiply severity and likelihood to find the risk level.
