A risk assessment looks at how the threat can exploit the vulnerability of the asset in question, in terms of Confidentiality, integrity and Availability (CIA). A vulnerability assessment is a intake of the assets on hand and the noted vulnerability associated with them. A risk assessment is by far deeper assessment, and can incorporate other forms of assessments to formalize a single set of recommendations.

Subacute exposure refers to a level of exposure to a substance or hazard for a period of time between acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) exposure. It typically lasts from several days to a few months and can have intermediate effects on health depending on the substance involved.

One hazard of exposure to infrared radiation is skin burns. Prolonged or intense exposure to infrared radiation can heat up and damage the skin, leading to burns similar to those caused by exposure to heat sources like fire or hot surfaces.
There is a deal of overlap between hygiene and safety in general and therefore between hygiene and safety hazards. Broadly, a safety hazard is one for which the result is promptly noticeable and readily identifiable as to the proximate cause. For example, falling off a ladder, and the resulting injuries, are readily seen to be connected. With a hygiene hazard, the exposure to the hazard and the resulting injury may be separated in time and the cause and effect may not be as readily apparent. For example, exposure to benzene vapor can result in liver cancer, but it takes a study of many people over a long time to clearly demonstrate that.
