Risk Matrix

About the Not Applicable Check Box

Each tab in the Risk Matrix contains the Not Applicable check box. If this check box is selected, it

indicates that the risk category that is represented by that tab does not apply to the risk.

You might, for example, determine that a leak does not have a safety impact. In this case, when you are

assessing the risk of the Leak Risk record, you would select the Not Applicable check box on the Safety

tab. The following image shows the selected Not Applicable check box on the Safety tab for the Leak

Risk record.

When you select the Not Applicable check box, the values on that tab will be disabled, and no

unmitigated risk rank icon will appear. In addition, the tab label will contain the text N/A.

After you perform a risk assessment, multiple Risk Rank records are created, where the value in the

Category field in each Risk Rank record represents a specific risk category (for example, Safety) that you

assessed. If, for example, you create a Risk record with the name Leak, when you assess the risk using the

Risk Matrix, multiple Risk Rank records will be created and linked to that Risk record. Each Risk Rank

record will contain a value in the Category field to indicate the risk rank per category (for example, Safety).

In addition, each Risk Rank record will contain the value True or False in the Not Applicable field to

indicate whether or not you selected the Not Applicable check box on the tab representing that category.

So, using the Leak Risk record example, if you selected the Not Applicable check box on the Safety tab,

the Leak Risk record would be linked to a Risk Rank record with the following values:

• Category: Safety

• Not Applicable: True
