What is Risk?
A key problem in explaining the concepts behind safety and risk is that there are vastly different opinions on what constitutes acceptable risk.
If 100 people are exposed to an agent, action or activity and over the course of 10 years a single person suffers a detrimental effect as a result of that activity, if that activity safe? What if the detrimental effect occurs 1 in 1,000 or 1 in 10,000?
