After one near-miss at a municipal garage, staff set likelihood to 'certain' for every future year and refuse to revisit the rating. What should they do instead?

Short Explanation
One scare does not make forever-certain. Near-misses matter, but likelihood should move when controls, conditions, or data change. Park the panic, keep the review cycle.
Full Explanation
Likelihood is dynamic: new controls, changed operations, and additional evidence can raise or lower probability. Freezing a 'certain' rating after a single near-miss embeds bias and can crowd out higher residual risks. Periodic reassessment keeps the register decision-useful. Document what changed when ratings are updated.
