How does the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (2009) define a hazard?

As any source of potential workplace enjoyment
As any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects
As a potential environmental concern
As any non-compliance with workplace regulations

The correct answer is: As any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (2009) defines hazard as any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects. This option is correct because it reflects the definition provided by the organization that is specifically focused on workplace health and safety. Option A is incorrect because while enjoyment can contribute to workplace well-being, it is not necessarily a defined hazard. Option C is also incorrect because a potential environmental concern is not directly correlated to a workplace hazard. Option D is incorrect because non-compliance with regulations does not always indicate a potential source of harm or danger in the workplace.
