A risk matrix is based on two intersecting factors: the likelihood that the risk event will occur and the potential impact the risk event will have on an organization.
Hypothetical scenario: Imagine invitees (patrons) attended an NBA playoff basketball game and were seated in a fan zone close to the court, without any protective barriers. During the game, a player loses control and dives for the ball, crashing into the seating area and injuring a patron.
It is uncommon for players to lose control and crash into this section of the stands.
A risk matrix helps you visualize the risk's possibility/probability vs. the severity and can assist with mitigating known and foreseeable hazards.
How would you plot the hazard/risk, and would you mitigate it? Why/why not?
