Definition of Hazard Severity
An assessment of the worst reasonably expected consequence, defined of injury, illness or physical damage

Hazard may cause death, loss of facility or grave damage to national interest
II - Critical
Hazard may cause severe injury, illness, property damage, damage to national interest
III - Marginal
Hazard may cause minor injury, illness, property damage
IV - Negligible
Hazard presents a minimal threat to personnel safety or heatlh property
Mishap Probability
The likelihood that a hazard will result in a mishap
Probability A
Likely to occur immediately or the very near future
Probability B
Probably will occur in time
Probability C
May occur in time
Probability D
Unlike to occur
