Concept in Definition ABC

Danger refers to any situation, which can be an action or a condition, that has the potential to cause harm to a certain person or thing. This damage can be physical and therefore produce some physical injury or a subsequent disease, as appropriate, or the damage may be intended to cause an injury to a environment, one property, or both.

Generally the dangers, as we said in the first part of the definition of the term, are potential or latent, that is, a danger is in potential or latent form always or most of the time, although of course once the danger ceases to be a danger and becomes a concrete threat, can lead to or unleash a real situation of emergency.

The risk can be materialized in different modalities. In the latent the situation is potentially dangerous but still things, people, environments or property are not were affected, for example, a balcony of a building that presents some weaknesses in its structure will be a danger latent.
In potential danger or armed, the situation is ready and ready to affect people, things or property and generally requires a

evaluation to specifically determine the chances of it becoming an emergency.

The most common and effective way to decree the plausibility of a hazard causing concrete damages is to assign values ​​to both the possibility and the seriousness of the same through a scale numerical, assigning the highest values ​​to the most serious and then multiplying one with the other to be able to make the pertinent comparisons.

Hazards can be caused by a myriad of factorsHowever, among the most common are natural ones, such as the detachment of a rock or the eruption of a volcano, anthropic which are those caused by human beings and in is category we can include those that come from the areas of building for example and finally those that are closely linked to the activity or work that the person develops, for example a person who working as a construction worker is more exposed to a fall or a blow than someone who performs administrative work in an office.
