What is Understanding Hazard vs. Risk about?
The document explains the distinction between hazard and risk, emphasizing that a hazard only becomes a risk when there is exposure that could cause harm. It defines hazard as the potential to cause harm, risk as the probability of harm occurring, and exposure as the amount and frequency of contact with a hazard. The relationship is summarized by the equation RISK = HAZARD x EXPOSURE, and it discusses how reducing exposure can minimize risk, illustrated with examples of the Ebola virus and UV radiation.
