What is a Hazard?











         ▪       Any circumstance or condition that poses the risk of an


                 incident resulting in injury. A hazard is not an incident,


                 nor is it an injury. A hazard may or may not result in an

                 incident.




         ▪       Hazards, such as unsafe working conditions, unsafe


                 employee work habits, improper use of equipment or use

                 of malfunctioning equipment all have the potential to


                 cause work related injuries.
