Apparently so, NeedKarma!
Hi, Nargis786!
You know, if you put what you think might be the answers, you'll be likely to have someone knowledgeable come along to discuss with you how to make improvements to your answers and whether what you've come up with is correct or not.
Thanks!

Hazards are anything that can cause harm, such as a cluttered hallway that people could possibly trip over and cause unnecessary harm. Hazards would normally exist for staff, visitors and individuals in the care setting if care is not taken to ensure that risks are reduced to the minimal. There are different types of hazards, health hazards include incidents that could lead to illnesses. Safety hazards include incidents which can lead to personal injury or damage to equipment or buildings. Security hazards include intruders, that would include theft of property of information and individuals being abducted of leaving without consent. A balance is needed with exposing people with unreasonable risk and over protecting them to an extent that they cannot recognise dangerous situations. Positive risk is an individual taking control some control in their life by weighing up potential benefits and harms while making decisions. Risk taking is part of everyone’s everyday life and all people have the right to take risks. For health and social care workers the working environment can include different types of setting such as residential care, hospitals, day care, pre-school, infant school, childminders, clinic and surgery and any location where an individual receives care services.
