Key definitions
Hazard is the potential to cause harm Risk is the likelihood of harm Safe is about being protected from,
or not exposed to, danger or risk Competence is about the ability to do
something well (perhaps measured against a standard) and is usually acquired through experience or training
Significant in terms of risk is the likelihood of something occurring in combination with the magnitude of its impact
Reasonable in the context of health and safety is where the cost of action to control the risk is proportionate to the reduction in the risk. Cost, here, refers to time and effort as well as money
