Likelihood – the chance of the risk happening
Improbable, no likely risk
Low – remote
Medium – quite possible
High – probable
Severe – almost certain

12. Risk Assessments Scoring the risk…
16-25: Unacceptable level of risk / immediate action
10-15: High-risk level / take action
6-9: Medium risk level / take action within a month
3-5: Fairly low risk level / take action within 6 months
