Likelihood of an occurrence of a hazardous event or exposure(s)
Likelihood (L) Percentage basis (estimation) Number of occurrence (actual)
1 Very unlikely The probability to happen is extremely small ( < 1% ) No case so far
2 Unlikely Could happen, however very rare ( 1 to 9% ) One case in 5 to 10 years
3 Likely Chances to happen is relatively high ( 10 to 59% ) One case in 1 to 5 year

One case within 6 months to 1 year


4 Most likely Can happen frequently ( 60 to 94% )
5 Certain Expected to happen ( 95 to 100% ) Once case in less than 6 months
