Answer:
A hazard, as defined by the TUC, 'is something that can cause harm', and a risk 'is the chance, high or low, that any hazard will actually cause somebody harm'. ... A risk would be a danger that these situations may pose; for example, physical injury, chemical burns, RSI or increased stress levels.
