The term “risk” is generally used only when there is at least the possibility of negative consequences.
Le risque peut être qualifié de façon à en indiquer l’origine ou la nature (par exemple, risque de choc électrique, risque d’écrasement, risque de coupure, risque d’intoxication, risque d’incendie ou risque de noyade).
Термин "риск" обычно используют только тогда, когда существует как минимум возможность негативных последствий.
