Working with Hazards forms part of the USAR – Cat II course
A hazard is any object, situation, or behaviour that has the potential to cause injury, ill health, or damage to property or the environment.
Health and safety hazards exist in every workplace. Some are easily identified and corrected, while others are necessary risks of the job and must be managed in other ways (for instance, by using protective equipment).
