Especially as the two words are often - incorrectly - used interchangeably. A hazard is anything that could cause harm. And risk is a combination of two things, the chance that the hazard will cause harm and how serious that harm could be. Risk is usually described as being high, medium or low. For example, think about crossing a road, the cars and other traffic are the main hazards and your mental calculation of the risk is a combination of how likely it is that you'll be hit by a vehicle, along with how seriously you might be injured. And there are things that could affect the likelihood and there are things that could affect the severity. In our example the speed of the traffic, your own speed and fitness, the weather conditions, the road surface and the time of day could all affect the likelihood of being hit and the size and speed of the vehicle which could hit you, will affect the severity of the injury.
