    Hazard is considered a threat because it poses a risk to life, health, property or the environment. While hazards are often dormant, when they become active they can create emergencies that cause panic, fear or anxiety because hazards can damage property or life. Key concepts in classifying hazards include stored energy that can take chemical, thermal, radioactive or electrical forms, or hazardous situations without stored energy like confined spaces, low oxygen, awkward positions or protruding objects.

    Why is hazard considered a threat?

    Hazard considered a threat because a hazard is a situation that poses a


    level of threat to life, health, property, or environment. Most hazards are
    dormant or potential, with only theoretical risk of harm however once a hazard
    becomes active, it can create an emergency. Hazard causes panic, fear or even
    anxiety to people because hazard can damage properties and even life.
    What are the key concepts in classifying hazards?
    The key concept in classifying hazard is the existence of stored energy that
    can occur in many forms which are the chemical, thermal, radioactive, electrical,
    etc. Another class of hazard does not involve release of stored energy rather it
    involves the existence of hazardous situation such as confined or limited egress
    spaces, oxygen depleted atmospheres, awkward positions repetitive motions, and
    low-hanging or protruding objects.
