(1) Assessment

Explanation:

The intersection of the assessed probability and severity of a hazard in the risk management process is called 'risk assessment'

Risks are usually assessed in two broad areas namely: Probability of occurrence and Impact.

Probability of occurrence has to do with the degree of likelihood that a risk will materialize while 'impact' tries to access how much damage the risk is likely to cause, in the event that it materializes.

In summary, risk management usually views risk as a function of probability and impact.
