什么是安全科学 

摘要

本文论述了该如何理解安全科学概念的问题。对安全的一些定义进行了综述和讨论,包括解释:安全是没有不良事件和意外事故,以及安全是风险的反义词。也思考了什么是科学与安全。有人认为，安全科学可以被视为安全知识的相关问题，以及理解、评估、沟通和管理(广义而言)安全的概念、理论、原则和方法的拓展。另外，我们可以说安全科学是一门学科，涉及所有相关的教育项目、期刊、论文、研究人员、研究机构和社会等。

关键词：安全的概念；安全科学；风险理论；风险评估

为了研究“安全科学”的概念，出发点自然就是《安全科学》期刊的范围和目标。我们从该期刊的网站上得知：

该学报的宗旨声明：《安全科学》是服务于人类安全科学技术研究的国际媒介。它从人们的安全工作延伸到其他领域，如交通、休闲和家庭，以及人的危险活动所涉及的其他领域。

《安全科学》是多学科的，它的贡献者和它的受众范围可从心理学家到化学工程师。该学报涵盖了安全物理和安全工程，社会、政策和组织方面，风险管理，安全控制技术的有效性，标准化、法规、检测、保险、成本核算方面，人的行为安全等。

What  is  safety  science 

Terje Aven *

Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of how to understand safety science as a concept. Several definitions of safety are reviewed and discussed, including the interpretations that safety is the absence of undesirable events and accidents and that safety is the antonym of risk. Reflections are also made on what science means in relation to safety. It is argued that safety science can be viewed as knowledge about safety related issues, and the development of concepts, theories, principles and methods to understand, assess, communicate and manage (in a broad sense) safety. In addition we may speak about science safety as a discipline, covering the totality of relevant educational programmes, journals, papers, researchers, research groups and societies, etc.© 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

1  Introduction

To study the concept ‘‘safety science’’ the natural point of departure is the scope and aims of this journal, Safety Science. We read from the journal’s website:

Safety Science serves as an international medium for research in the science and technology of human safety. It extends from safety of people at work to other spheres, such as transport, lei-sure and home, as well as every other field of man’s hazardous activities.

Safety Science is multidisciplinary. Its contributors and its audience range from psychologists to chemical engineers. The journal covers the physics and engineering of safety; its social, policy and organizational aspects; the management of risks; the effectiveness of control techniques for safety; standardization, legislation, inspection, insurance, costing aspects, human behavior and safety and the like.
