Answer:
A hazard is something that can cause harm, e.g. electricity, chemicals, working up a ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at work, stress, etc
A risk is the chance, high or low, that any hazard will actually cause somebody harm.
Explanation:
Examples of Hazard:
- A water cooler on the shop floor has a leak. This has created a puddle on the floor which is now a slip hazard. If we do not do anything to remove or control this hazard, there is a significant risk that someone could slip and injure themselves.
- On the other hand, if we had identified the potential for harm (hazard) and put suitable and simple control measures in place, such as barriers.
Examples of Risk:
- The chances of someone coming to harm (risk) would now be low.
- So although the hazard still exists, the actual risk would be reduced to an acceptable level.
