摘要：

The nature of safety and the related concepts of risk and hazard are defined and explored. Measures of safety are discussed, and its relation to sustainability. Threats to safety are categorised, after which the discussion moves to consideration of safety management. Emphasis is given to indirect means of ensuring safety, particularly codes of practice, quality assurance, three "enemies of knowledge", and indicator methods. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
