Methodology of Safety Risk: Assessment of Adequacy of Measures

Abstract:

Safety, by definition, is a state of protection against hazards, which implies measures for reduction/evasion/exclusion of risks. Safety is relative, depending on the degree of implementation of measures in specific conditions. The concept of security should only be considered as a result of risk management. Modern risk management practice is the basic risk levels and balancing between the need to ensure a certain level of security and the economic feasibility of investment in security measures. In practice, despite the declared safety priorities, industries are balanced between investment in security and an acceptable level of risk, without considering the nature and degree of influence of security measures at the stage of their development. This method of balancing is characterized by the desire of business to formally meet the general standards of risk management in order to minimize costs, minimize social and other types of responsibility, for the sake of maximizing income, which is a common problem. This problem is particularly acute in the context of national and industrial security.
