1. Intolerable risk
2. Undesirable risk, and tolerable only if risk reduction is impracticable or if the costs are grossly disproportionate to the improvement
gained.
3. Tolerable risk if the cost of risk reduction would exceed the improvement gained.
4. Negligible risk.
Note: The actual population with risk classes 1, 2, 3 and 4 depend upon what the actual frequencies are for frequent, probable etc.
Therefore, this table should be seen as an example of how such a table could be populated, rather than as specification.
