hazardous conditions

Perilous environmental state

Hazardous conditions are circumstances that pose danger to health, safety, or well-being.

The phrase appears in workplace safety contexts hazardous conditions on the factory floor, weather warnings driving in hazardous conditions, and legal or insurance language describing situations that increase risk of harm.

What qualifies as hazardous depends on context—a wet floor, toxic fumes, or an approaching storm all count.
