Is the word hazard preferred above the word peril in the pure risk industry?

[Edit]

Answer

As far as I understand it, peril and hazard are two different things when used in the insurance context. Consider a house built on a flood plain. In the event of a flood the house is damaged. The peril in this case is flooding while the hazard is the location of the house on the flood plain.
