<![CDATA[Abstract: Nature-based tourism has distinctive risk characteristics due to direct interactions between tourists and the natural environment. Danum Bahandang Natural Tourism Site is a nature tourism destination that potentially poses health and safety risks to visitors if not managed systematically. This study aims to analyze potential hazards and the level of tourist health and safety risks at the Danum Bahandang Natural Tourism Site. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed using the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) method. Data were collected through field observations, interviews, documentation, and a Google Form questionnaire involving 14 respondents. The results indicate that potential hazards originate from road access conditions, river characteristics, natural environmental elements, and limited safety facilities. Risk assessment shows varying levels of risk, ranging from low to high, influenced by environmental conditions and tourist activities. This study concludes that the HIRARC method is effective in identifying and mapping health and safety risks in nature-based tourism destinations, contributing to risk management practices in sustainable tourism development.
