thumb|A GHS hazard pictograms|hazard pictogram to indicate a hazard from a flammable substance. A hazard is a potential source of harm. Substances, events, or circumstances can constitute hazards when their nature would potentially allow them to cause damage to health, life, property, or any other interest of value. The probability of that harm being realized in a specific incident, combined with the magnitude of potential harm, make up its risk. This term is often used synonymously in colloquial speech.
A hazard is a potential source of harm—such as a dangerous substance, event, or circumstance that could damage your health, life, property, or something else you value. While people often use the words "hazard" and "risk" interchangeably in everyday conversation, technically a hazard's risk depends on how likely that harm is to actually occur and how severe the damage would be.
