Answer 2

a. Hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on something or someone under certain conditions at work.

Explanation:

• Hazard is different from Harm.

• A physical injury is termed as harm.

• Source that causes the physical injury(harm) is called as 'hazard'.

• Hazard is simply the ability to harm someone or something.

• Biological, Chemical, Ergonomic, Physical, Psychological and Safety are the categories of hazards.

• Sometimes the harm is misunderstood as hazard.

• For example, if a person is infected with COVID, then the disease is considered as hazard by someone but actually the virus causing COVID is the "hazard" or “hazardous biological agent”.
