A  Hazard  is the potential of a substance, activity or process to cause harm to personnel or property A  Risk  is the likelihood of a substance, activity or process to cause harm Risk is also linked to the severity of its consequences. A risk can be reduced and the hazard controlled by good management

It is very important to distinguish between a hazard and a risk – the two terms are often confused and activities often called high risk are in fact high hazard.

Hazard
Anything that can cause harm
e.g. a chemical, electricity, ladders etc.
Risk

Hazards may be broadly classified into five types: Physical hazards e.g. noise, vibrations Chemical hazards e.g. exhaust fumes, cleaning agents,  Ergonomic hazards e.g. repetitive movements, inadequate workstations Biological hazards e.g. virus, mold, fungi, bacteria Psychosocial hazards e.g. sexual harassment, stress

Not all hazards are obvious and they can be unique to your workplace. It is everyone’s responsibility to be mindful of hazards and minimize the risks.
