risk/hazard/peril riesgo / peligro / exposición al peligro

Explanation:
Seguridad Industrial 101
Peligro (Hazard, Danger): una situación que puede causar un evento no deseado.
Riesgo (Risk): la posibilidad que suceda un evento no deseado y sus consecuencias. Puedo controlarlo o eliminarlo.

Se identifican los peligros y cada uno de ellos tiene distintos niveles de riesgo.

Si una persona decide cruzar el océano tiene el peligro de morir, pero el riesgo de muerte es mayor si va nadando a si lo hace en un bote, remando; para un trabajador en torno hay peligro en que una viruta salga disparada y le pegue en un ojo; elimino el riesgo de daños a la visión usando lentes de seguridad.

Peril: la exposición al peligro. Esto también puedo controlarlo; me expongo menos al peligro de morir ahogado con el cruce del océano si viajo en avión. El peligro sigue existiendo (el avión cae al agua y sobrevivo a eso pero no tengo tiempo de salir de él y muero por inmersión), pero me expongo menos (y, por supuesto, el riesgo también cambia).

Son tres conceptos distintos, no son sinónimos.
