What is the hazard probability category that describes events that are likely to occur?

The category that describes events likely to occur is "likely to occur." This classification is important in risk assessment, as it indicates a higher expectation for the event to happen compared to other categories.

When assessing hazards, categorizing them based on their probability helps organizations prioritize their responses and preparedness measures. An event classified as "likely to occur" suggests that there are substantial conditions or historical data backing the assessment that this event will happen under certain circumstances.

Other categories differentiate the frequency and likelihood of occurrences—“frequent occur” indicates events that happen often and may be considered even more probable, “occasionally occur in time” suggests a less frequent occurrence, and “seldom may occur” implies a very low probability of happening. However, "likely to occur" stands out as a signifier of a notable expectation of occurrence that necessitates preventative or responsive planning.
