المعنى
To be a source of potential danger.
خلفية ثقافية
The Swedish 'Arbetsmiljölagen' (Work Environment Act) uses this terminology extensively. Employers have a legal obligation to eliminate anything that 'utgör en risk'. In Finland-Swedish, the usage is identical, though sometimes 'innebära' is slightly more favored in legal texts. In Swedish boardrooms, 'riskminimering' (risk minimization) is a buzzword. 'Utgöra en risk' is the standard phrase used during SWOT analyses. The Swedish Public Health Agency (Folkhälsomyndigheten) uses this phrase to communicate with the public without causing panic, as it sounds objective.
