Cross contamination e.g Cutting meat and vegetables on the same cutting board without washing your hands or cutting board and utensil's Putting uncooked meat above fresh food in the fridge, as the blood will leak onto the food below.
Finding foreign objects in food served anywhere is a health and safety hazard.
It is true that the primary food safety hazard is contamination of the food. Food going bad is also a hazard, although that could also be construed as a form of contamination by bacteria. You could, in theory, be injured by having a large quantity of food fall on top of you, which would only be a hazard in a food warehouse, if the food was not properly stored. If flour dust gets into the air, it is highly flammable and can explode, which is another kind of food safety hazard. If you fell into a huge vat of molasses, you could drown. So a variety of hazards are at least theoretically possible.

Critical control points are specific points in a food production process where controls can be applied to prevent or eliminate a food safety hazard. These are crucial steps to ensure food safety, and they are identified through a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system. Monitoring and controlling critical control points is essential to prevent hazards that could endanger the safety of the food supply.

A "safety hazard" is something that could cause a person to be injured or killed.
It is a hazard to eat in a biology lab because your food may have been contaminated by other items in the lab and you could then eat the contaminant.
A cracked pan may be a food safety hazard because it can harbor bacteria in the crevices, making it difficult to clean thoroughly. Additionally, cracks can compromise the integrity of the cookware, leading to potential leaks or contamination of food. Moreover, damaged cookware may release harmful chemicals into food when heated. Overall, using a cracked pan poses risks to both food safety and health.
Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a systematic approach to food safety that identifies, evaluates, and controls biological, chemical, and physical hazards throughout the food production process. It focuses on identifying critical control points where hazards can be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to ensure the safety of the final food product. HACCP is a preventative system to manage food safety risks.
