Elagin] Conclusions: The systematic view of safety presented here is of a general nature, in contrast to the majority of other studies (for example [1-3]). Many authors define safety as a state of protectedness. However, if one understands protectedness in the sense adopted in the present paper, the concept of safety has a wider significance. In [3] safety is also considered from a systems point of view and three attitudes in society are distinguished characterizing the defined position of some subject-agent in the situation of guaranteeing safety. However, the whole course of the discussions and the concept adopted for safety differ considerably from those given here. Special attention has been devoted in the present paper to the relative nature of safety and the importance has been mentioned of distinguishing and comprehensively studying the different aspects of safety when adopting solutions. By virtue of the systems approach and the relative nature of safety, its definition as properties of an object is imprecise, although the concept of a safety object can be used if one takes account of its relative nature. The safety threshold defines the standard of safety, Although there is no scale of safety in terms of this concept, standards of safety can be compared in different fields or different countries. The lowest level of acceptable risk, i.e., the most rigorous establishment of the safety threshold, provides a basis for speaking of a higher standard of safety.
