Hazards can become risks when they are not controlled to prevent this you need to implement certain

precautions into the working environment. Some common examples of hazards that can become risks in the computer rooms would be the wiring. This is could be a common problem as there are lots of cables around because there are a lot of computers in a small space. The problem with a lot of wiring is that it has the potential to fray and split, when this happens the hazard becomes a risk and has to be controlled. To control this example you would make sure that there is no split cables and the cables would have to be C Cover and !nsulated. The health and safety at work act "#$% section & says '!t shall be the duty of every employer to conduct his undertaking in such a way as to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that persons not in his employment who may be affected thereby are not thereby exposed to risks to their health or safety(.
