Abstract: To conduct safe production work more effectively, it is necessary to keep studying the definition and content of hazards. Through analyzing the definition of hazards in ISO 45001 and that of hazard-related terms in other relevant standards at home and abroad, this paper explains the relationship between them and the content and classification methods of hazards. The results show that source of danger, accident cause, hidden danger, hazard factor, risk source, hazard and risk source all carry the same meaning. Hazard defines the states of energy, matter, and behaviors. It is also demonstrated that the classification of hazards depends on the cause model of accidents. The rules regarding definition will be different since the legal system of China varies from the international legal one, so the double prevention mechanism is a theory with Chinese characteristics.

Key words: hazard, hidden danger, accident cause, hazardous and harmful factors, double prevention mechanism
