When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

up to you now....
riesgo / peligro / exposición al peligro
Peligro (Hazard, Danger): una situación que puede causar un evento no deseado.
Riesgo (Risk): la posibilidad que suceda un evento no deseado y sus consecuencias. Puedo controlarlo o eliminarlo.
Se identifican los peligros y cada uno de ellos tiene distintos niveles de riesgo.
Si una persona decide cruzar el océano tiene el peligro de morir, pero el riesgo de muerte es mayor si va nadando a si lo hace en un bote, remando; para un trabajador en torno hay peligro en que una viruta salga disparada y le pegue en un ojo; elimino el riesgo de daños a la visión usando lentes de seguridad.
Peril: la exposición al peligro. Esto también puedo controlarlo; me expongo menos al peligro de morir ahogado con el cruce del océano si viajo en avión. El peligro sigue existiendo (el avión cae al agua y sobrevivo a eso pero no tengo tiempo de salir de él y muero por inmersión), pero me expongo menos (y, por supuesto, el riesgo también cambia).
Son tres conceptos distintos, no son sinónimos.

Rules are there for a good purpose, but sometimes they are a hindrance if held to an extreme.
