HAZARDS, RISKS, OUTCOMES

The terminology used in OSH (Occupational Safety and Health) discipline varies between states, but generally speaking:

  • A hazard is something that can cause harm

  • A risk is the probability of the hazard causing harm, a potential problem that can be avoided or mitigated

  • The outcome is the result of when the hazard causes harm

For example, repetitively carrying out manual handling of heavy objects is a hazard (it can cause harm). The risk can either be expressed mathematically, (0.5 = a 50/50 chance) or just as "high/medium/low". The outcome would be a musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

Modern occupational safety and health legislation usually demands that a risk assessment be carried out prior to making an intervention. This assessment should:

  • identify the hazards;

  • identify all affected by the hazard and how;

  • evaluate the risk;

  • identify and prioritise the required actions.

In everyday usage, risk is often used synonymously with the probability of a known loss. Risk assessment and risk perception are essential factors for all human decision making. Risk is described both qualitatively and quantitatively. Qualitatively, risk is proportional to both the expected losses which may be caused by an event and to the probability of this event. Quantitatively risk is defined by the formula:

Or in more general terms:

The assessment should be recorded and reviewed periodically and whenever there is a significant change to work practices. The assessment should include practical recommendations to control the risk. There are several categories of risk:

  • Political: Change of government, cross cutting policy decisions.

  • Professional: Associated with the nature of each profession.

  • Economic: Ability to attract and retain staff in the labour market; exchange rates affect costs of international transactions; effect of global economy.

  • Socio-cultural: Demographic change affects demand for services; stakeholder expectations change.

  • Health and Safety: Buildings, vehicles, equipment, fire, noise, vibration, asbestos, chemical and biological hazards, food safety, traffic management, stress, etc.

  • Technological: Obsolescence of current systems; cost of procuring best technology available, opportunity arising from technological development.

  • Contractual: Associated with the failure of contractors to deliver devices or products to the agreed cost and specification.

  • Environmental: Buildings need to comply with changing standards; disposal of rubbish.

  • Physical: Theft, vandalism, arson, building related risks; storm, flood, other weather related risks, damage to vehicles, mobile plant and equipment.

  • Operational: Relating to existing operations – both current delivery and building and maintaining.

Some risk experts combine above-mentioned categories into five bigger groups and describe only individual risk, social risk, technological risk, ecological risk, economic risk.
