With regard to the use of the word "hazard," consider
an equipment supplied from mains.
We would all agree that mains is a hazardous energy
source (or comprises a hazard).
The equipment in question is provided with a suitable
enclosure and fully complies with the applicable
safety standard.
We have a number of definitions for "hazard" from the
various posted messages:
anything potentially harmful
potential for an action with adverse outcome
something that can hurt you or do property damage
potential source of harm
Question: Does the mains within the equipment comprise
a hazard?
