Which term means assessing risks as high, medium, or low?

Evaluating how serious a risk is by considering how likely it is to occur and how severe the impact would be, then labeling it as high, medium, or low. This is risk evaluation. It focuses on rating the danger level of each hazard to prioritize actions. The other phrases refer to types of risk (specific categories) rather than the process of rating how serious those risks are. In skincare practice, you’d identify hazards, judge likelihood and consequence, and then assign a level to decide which controls to implement.
