Danger
, which precedes risk, is defined as the potential for harm or damage
to people, property or the environment. This abstract concept covers
both physical or material contingencies accessible to our senses,
and immaterial contingencies such as potential or kinetic energy.
More generally, a hazard can be a substance (toxic product, etc.),
an object (virus, asteroid, etc.), a phenomenon (flood, earthquake,
etc.) or a process (diagnostic error, administrative error, operating
error, etc.).
