What is Difference Hazard and Risk
Hazard and Risk are two well-known term in workplace safety : hazard (danger) and risk (the risk). Both are always linked, they rarely stand apart. Hazard and risk is not a term that only the mining industry, but also attached to another industry. Although often referred to, both in fact undesirable. The government must intervene to issue rules with sanctions plus for anyone who deliberately ignore the hazard and risk prevention efforts. So what is a hazard and risk ? Hazard (danger) is something that can cause personal injury or damage to the tool or environment. Medium risk (risk) is defined as the chance of exposure of a person or device on a hazard (danger).
Brittle rock in underground mines is an example of a hazard: If a worker is located 100 m from the area, he would be safe. That is, workers have almost zero risk for falling. However, if the employee is approaching the brittle rock area, increasing the risk of falling. So not all hazard will cause harm. Hazard must meet the risk to lead to accidents. The greater the risk, the higher the chances of the accident. To protect employees and company assets , hazard and should be suppressed as low risk. This step begins with identifying the hazard. All potential hazards should be identified, originating from the action and unsafe working conditions. After hazard mapped, the next step is to evaluate the risk. Not all hazards have the same destructive potential. Priority should be given to critical hazard (critical hazards) that can lead to large losses. Once done, proceed with step prevention plan. All elements must have a firm commitment to this plan so that the plan does not stay plans. The last part is also important is the evaluation. If it is good, all can be continued. If there are still holes, fillings or programs so necessary changes made.
