    The document defines risk as the probability of an incident occurring multiplied by the severity of the consequences. It identifies a risk as the likelihood of an event times the severity of the outcome. A hazard is something with potential to cause harm. A risk assessment carefully examines potential harms to people in order to determine if enough precautions have been taken or if more should be done. Several types of risks are listed including physical, chemical, mechanical and natural hazards involving factors like noise, radiation, vibration, pressure and various weather events.
