WHAT DOES HAZARDS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hazards

Hazard

A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life, health, property, or environment. Most hazards are dormant or potential, with only a theoretical risk of harm; however, once a hazard becomes "active", it can create an emergency situation. A hazardous situation that has come to pass is called an incident. Hazard and possibility interact together to create risk. Identification of hazard risks is the first step in performing a risk assessment.
