Question

Write a short note on hazard.

Answer 1

Answer:

A hazard is any object, situation, or behavior that has the potential to cause injury, ill health, or damage to property or the environment.

Health and safety hazards exist in every workplace. Some are easily identified and corrected, while others are necessary risks of the job and must be managed in other ways (for instance, by using protective equipment).

Most occupational hazards are inactive or have a low potential of actually occurring; however, employers must be prepared to deal with them since a hazard becoming active can generate an emergency situation.
