Defining Hazard and Risk: Key Terms
Tier T1
Operational Overview
Hazard. Risk. Control measure. Residual risk. These words get used constantly in workplace safety, and used loosely they cause real confusion, missed controls, and risk assessments that look thorough but aren't.
This course gives you a precise, working grasp of the core terms behind every risk assessment you'll ever read or write, grounded in what UK law actually requires, not just common usage.
It's short, direct, and deliberately foundational. Everything else in this pathway builds on getting these terms right.
