Unlikely Possible Likely

5

Very likely

Has never happened before and there is no reason to think it is any more likely now There is a possibility that it could happen, but it probably won't On balance, the risk or opportunity is more likely to happen than not It would be a surprise if the risk or opportunity did not occur either based on past frequency or current circumstances Either already happens regularly or there is some reason to believe it is virtually imminent


Risk Impact This table should be used as guidance to help to decide upon the correct impact rating for a particular risk. IMPACT LEVEL
