Conduct a before and after qualitative risk assessment to determine the risk level, based on the following information:

Spillage of the product along the walkway of a conveyor belt in an area creates a significant slip and trip hazard, especially when it rains (as there are significant leaks in the product shed). This area is occupied on average with three employees per shift, which must pass through this area at least twice a day. The most likely consequence could be a significant strain or sprain to the extremities including potential permanent lumbar injuries. One option to reduce or eliminate the risk is to barricade the area and provide a secondary path. The secondary path would require employees to travel to the upper level, across, and back down to this level, thus creating an additional travel time of 10 minutes each way (twice per day). Explain your reasoning why you chose the severity and probability ratings.
