Division 8 Develop several injury scenarios to identify the highest risk of the product.

If your first injury scenario identifies a risk level below the highest risk level set out in these guidelines, and if you think that the product may pose a higher risk than the one identified,

• select other consumers (including vulnerable consumers, in particular children);

• identify other uses (including reasonably foreseeable uses),

in order to determine which injury scenario puts the product at its highest risk.

The highest risk is normally ‘the risk’ of the product that allows the most effective risk management measures. In specific cases, a particular hazard may lead to a less-than-highest risk and require specific risk management measures. This has to be taken duly into account.

As a rule of thumb, injury scenarios may lead to the highest risk level set out in these guidelines where:

• the injury(ies) considered are at least at levels 3 or 4; —

• the overall probability of an injury scenario is at least > 1/100.

See table 4 for guidance.
