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.

Un danger est une cause possible de dommage (à une personne, un peuple, un bien, à l'environnement, etc.). La probabilité de survenue de ce dommage est le risque associé à ce danger. On parle évidemment de dangerosité d'une situation ou d'un individu présentant un caractère dangereux.
