2.2 Harm
Physical injury or damage to health of people, or damage to property or the environment. ISO/IEC Guide 51:1999, definition 3.3“Guidelines for inclusion of safety aspects in standards.”
损害
对人体健康的实际伤害或侵害,或是对财产或环境的侵害。

2.3 Hazard
Potential source of Harm.
• Human injury or death• Damage to the environment• Damage to physical assets• Loss of production
危害
损害的潜在源。
5
2.4 accident
An unintentional event that causes harm to people, property or environment.
major accident: an incident involving multiple injuries, a fatality. And extensive property damage.
occupational accident : an accident, the origins of which are from a workplace.
6
2.5 RiskCombination of the probability of occurrence of harm and the severity of harm.
Risk is the combination of the probability, or frequency of occurrence of a defined hazard and the magnitude of consequences of the occurrence. It is therefore a measure of the likelihood of a specific undesired event and its unwanted consequences or loss.
风险
损害的发生概率与损害严重程度的结合。
7
2.5 risk The expectation of loss.An expression of the combined severity and
probability of loss.The long-term rate of loss; the loss rate value.
Risk ( ) = Severity ( ) x Probability ( )Expected Loss
Unit Time or ActivityLoss

8
Tolerable Risk A risk that is allowed to exist, so that certain benefits can be gained - there being a level of confidence that the risk is under control.
Intolerable Risk A risk that cannot be justified except in extraordinary circumstances.
Negligible Risk A risk that is so small and insignificant that it can be ignored as long as existing precautions remain in place.

Risk management option
19
An event in which loss is experienced.
2.12 mishap
20
2.13 miss
An event having potential potential for loss, but resulting in little or no loss.
21
2.14 safety (security)
1) Freedom from accidents (loss events) Freedom from those conditions that can cause death, injury, occupational illness or damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage to environment.
2) The quality of a system that allows the system to function under a predetermined condition with an acceptable minimum of accidental loss
