Almost certain (5) LR (5) MR (10) HR (15) HR (20) HR (25)
Likely (4) LR (4) MR (8) MR (12) HR (16) HR (20)
Possible (3) VLR (3) LR(6) MR (9) MR (12) HR (15)
Unlikely (2) VLR (2) LR (4) LR (6) MR (8) MR (10)
Remote (1) VLR (1) VLR (2) VLR (3) LR (4) LR (5)

HR = High risk

MR = Moderate risk

LR = Low risk

VLR = Very low risk

Likelihood of occurrence definitions
  Remote 1 Unlikely 2 Possible 3 Likely 4 Almost certain 5
Likelihood Can’t believe this would happen – will only happen in exceptional circumstances (5-10 years) Not expected to happen but definite potential exists (2-5 years) May occur occasionally, has happened before on occasions – reasonable chance of occurring (annually) Strong possibility that this could occur – likely to occur (quarterly) This is expected to occur frequently, in most circumstances – more likely to occur than not (daily/weekly/monthly)
