Abstract

In order to address inconsistent interpretations of hazard, its essential content was analyzed. Hazard related standards formulated by three technical committees of ISO, TC 262, TC 283 and TC 292 were analyzed, and definition expressions and general ideas in them were studied. Then, the widely recognized implications of hazard were obtained and its essentioal content was summarized based on energy theory and researches of previous scholars. The results show that the term hazard comes from international standards and it actually means causes of accidents. It can be interpreted in three ways as hazardous conditions or situations of things, hazardous substances or energy, depending on which accident causation model is used. © 2020 China Safety Science Journal
