A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life, health, property, or environment. Most hazards are dormant or potential, with only a theoretical risk of harm; however, once a hazard becomes "active", it can create an emergency situation. A hazard does not exist when it is happening. A hazardous situation that has come to pass is called an incident. Hazard and vulnerability interact together to create risk.

GNU Free Documentation License Is there a state to state comparison for laws governing use of hazard flashers while driving? Q. I live in Florida, and we have a ludricous law here that does not allow people to use their flashers while driving during heavy rain. I know someone who received a ticket for this law, and a Florida judge threw it out. In fact, the judge used the phrase, "ludicrious law". I'm trying to get a comparison on all 50 states' laws on hazard flashers. Asked by Glen - Thu Sep 3 10:00:24 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. There is no comparison that I'm aware of other than going to each state dmv and looking up the law. It's not necessarily ludicrous when you see so many people driving with their hazards on at the strangest times. The only time you are supposed to use your Hazard flashers is when YOU present a potential hazard to others such as if you are travelling more than 15% below the posted limit or your vehicle is broken down. If you use them to be more visible in inclement weather then you might cause someone to misread your intentions and make an unsafe manoevre.

If the mercury is cleaned up properly and not agitated, will it vaporize quickly enough to create a health hazard in a large room? Additionally, how quickly does mercury vaporize? Asked by Matt - Fri Apr 17 15:37:21 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. "Although the boiling point of mercury is 357 Degrees C, detectable mercury vapor forms at temperatures as low as 8.5 Degrees C. Depending upon the surface area of mercury exposed and conditions of ventilation, air concentrations of mercury can reach 3 mg per cubic meter at room temperatureR-@ and 213 mg per cubic meter at 200'C.1 The mercury vapor level fatal to man is not known, but concentrations of 15 to 20 mg Hg per cubic meter of air are lethal for dogs."
