I personally think that you should be describing structural condition by describing defects and their severity. I wouldn't use dangerous either as that requires more than just a defect. If I were to use Good, Fair and Poor then I would go as follows:
Good = Tree is free of significant defects and is in overall good health
Fair = Tree has minor structural defects and / or is physiologically distressed, but importantly these can be remediated. i.e. pruning, de-compaction, etc.
Poor = Tree which has significant defects or severe physiological issues that cannot be remediated through pruning, de-compaction, etc.
Just my opinion, others may differ.
