Categorising the risk level as 1-4(Low), 5-9(Moderate), 10-15(High) or 16-25 (Unacceptable) shows that the potential level of risk in this activity is '''High'''.
Further measures are '''needed/not needed''' to reduce the risk to an acceptable level.

===Control measures===
* Necessary control measures arising from the hazard identified of '''Fire''' are:
** Don't leave the machine running unattended.
* Necessary control measures arising from the hazard identified of '''Burns''' are:
** Always use handles, do not touch the upper platen.
** Allow TShirt to cool after pressing?

** Never put your hand between the platens

* Necessary control measures arising from the hazard identified of '''Electric Shock''' are:
** Annual PAT test
** Carry out a visual check and check the test date before use.

===Final assessment of risk===
The assessed risk taking into account the implementation of the control measures listed, and adherence to the SSOW (Safe System of Work) if applicable is as follows:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
!|Hazard identified
!|Severity
!|Probability
!|Risk Factor
|-
|Fire
|1

|-
|Burns

|-
|Electric Shock
|3

|4 (Low)
|}

''When completing Risk Assessment please consider the if First Aid assistance might be appropriate if the calculated Risk level (Severity x Probability) is greater than 5''

The risk now falls into the category '''LOW''' and is considered to be acceptable.
