Detailed explanation-2: -Additional Information Risk Assessment includes : Hazard identification : Identification of potential Physical, Chemical and Biological hazards. Hazard characterization : Evaluation of nature of adverse health effects that the identified hazard can cause.
Detailed explanation-3: -Probability is the likelihood of the hazard occurring and it is often ranked on a five point scale: Frequent-5: Likely to occur often in the life of an item.
