2 Minor Injuries or illness e.g. small cut or abrasion which require basic first aid treatment even if self administered
3 Moderate Injuries or Illness e.g. straining or sprain requiring first aid or medical support
4 Major Injuries or illness e.g. broken bones requiring medial support > 24 hours and time off work or study > 4 weeks.
5 Severe/Extremely Significant Fatality or multiple serious injuries or illness requiring hospital admission or significant time off work or study.
