Residual Risk Reduction Matrix

See the risk. Compare the solution. Make the follow-through visible.

A good safety improvement starts with a clear picture of the risk—and a practical plan to reduce it. The Residual Risk Reduction Matrix helps your team assess hazards consistently, objectively, compare conditions before and after a proposed control, and track the actions needed to put improvements in place.

The editable Excel workbook includes two connected tools:

• A risk assessment worksheet for recording hazards, current and proposed controls, and scores for frequency, likelihood, and severity
• A 30-day Kaizen action tracker for documenting what needs to be done, who is responsible, and when it is due

Worked examples are included in both worksheets. They show how to describe a hazard, score the risk, propose a control, and turn that proposal into an assigned action. Use them as a guide, then replace the example entries with your own workplace information.

You’ll receive one editable Excel workbook (.xlsx) with two worksheets.
