Unit 10, 2.1 - "Describe the differences between hazards and risks."

There are a few key differences between hazards and risks, which I have described below:

HAZARD

A hazard is something that can cause you physical or mental harm, whether that be through stress or dangerous chemicals.

RISK

A risk is how great the chance is that a hazard will potentially harm someone. It will usually be rated on a low, medium and high scale.
