What type of risk would an incident with high frequency and low severity represent?

An incident characterized by high frequency and low severity represents a minor concern. This classification suggests that while these incidents occur often, they do not typically result in serious consequences or significant harm when they do occur.

In risk management, incidents that are frequent but less severe often require monitoring and management, but they do not typically demand urgent or extensive resource allocation to address. They can often be mitigated through routine safety measures or procedural adjustments, which makes them less critical compared to incidents that have low occurrence but high severity, which may pose a more serious threat to health and safety.

In contrast, significant hazards, major emergencies, and critical risks typically imply higher levels of severity, greater potential for serious consequences, or less frequent occurrences, making them areas where greater attention and resources would be allocated to prevent or respond to such incidents.
