Hazard or Risk , what the difference according ISO12100.

Показать описание

ISO 12100 is a different international standard that specifically focuses on machinery safety. It provides guidelines for identifying and eliminating or reducing hazards associated with machinery, with the goal of ensuring the safety of machinery during its entire lifecycle. In the context of ISO 12100, here's the difference between hazard and risk:

Hazard (ISO 12100 definition):

In ISO 12100, a hazard is defined as a potential source of harm.
Hazards are considered as inherent characteristics or properties of machinery, equipment, or systems that have the potential to cause injury or damage.
Risk (ISO 12100 definition):

In ISO 12100, risk is defined as the combination of the likelihood and the severity of injury or damage to health that can result from a hazard.
Risk is a measure of the potential harm associated with a hazard, taking into account the probability of an accident or adverse event occurring and the severity of its potential consequences.
In summary, ISO 12100 distinguishes between hazards as potential sources of harm associated with machinery and risk as the measure of the potential harm, considering both the likelihood and severity of the harm. This standard is specifically tailored to the field of machinery safety and provides guidance on how to identify, evaluate, and control these hazards and associated risks to ensure the safe operation of machinery.
