Hi, The risk of a number of things happening may be minimal, however the damage that they could cause could be large, traditionally risk management considers both the the chance of the risk occurring and what the outcome would be if it did. Just because it’s unlikely to occur doesn’t mean it’s a safe thing to do. I often use a risk matrix like this when assessing risk. [1]
