5(Table 1) + 3(Table 2) + 4(Table 3) + 2(Table 4) + 1(Table 5) = 15
Since the point total (15) exceeds 12, the situation qualifies for all pupils at the school.
5(Table 1) + 2(Table 2) + 0(Table 3) + 3(Table 4) + 2(Table 5) = 12
Since the point total equals 12, the situation qualifies for pupils through 6th grade. Points from tables 1, 2 and 5 (but not 3 and 4) are required to qualify for this type (Type I) of hazardous situation.
