A hazard is something that can cause harm, e.g. electricity, chemicals, working up a ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at work, stress, etc. A risk is the chance, high or low, that any hazard will actually cause somebody harm.

le risque c'est la combinaison entre   probabilité d'occurrence d'un événement indésirable  et sa gravité  et le danger  source ou situation pouvant nuire par blessure ou atteinte à la santé, dommage à la propriété, à l’environnement du lieu de travail
