HAZARD🔥
A hazard is a potential source of harm, such as stairs or a chemical. Hazards can be physical, biological, chemical, or ergonomic. They can exist regardless of exposure or vulnerability.
RISK☄️
Risk is the likelihood of a hazard causing harm, and how serious that harm could be. Risk considers both the probability and severity of harm. Risks can take many forms, such as physical risks like wet floors or reputational risks like bad reviews.
Understanding both hazards and risks is important for effective health and safety management. Risk assessments are scientific analyses that determine the level of exposure to a hazard that is safe.
