A new paradigm for global safety science

Safety science literature and terminology reveal limited concepts to describe the overarching characteristics of system safety and security, including terms such as safety culture and risk. Despite these efforts, the rapid evolution of safety science has outpaced the validity of these concepts, indicating an urgent need for new and meaningful general concepts.

for that, Crisis management science and technology We published a study titled “Why should safety and security civilization (SSC) be a new concept in safety and security science?” This paper aims to rigorously define SSC and demonstrate its importance and potential as a fundamental concept in safety science. SSC is similar to safety culture, but differs in its broader applicability and deeper integration of safety and civilization aspects.

In exploring the origins and development of safety culture, the author proposes the introduction of “safety and security civilization” (SSC) as a pivotal new concept that can encapsulate the full scope of safety and security anytime and anywhere. Initial research has shown that while the debate on safety civilization exists, there is a lack of a comprehensive and unified approach proposed for SSC.

This paper introduces and explains the concept of Safety and Security Civilization (SSC). Narrow and broad definitions of SSC and its implications are provided separately. “Safety and Security Civilization” is a multidimensional and comprehensive term designed to encapsulate all safety and security issues within the framework of civilization. SSC is presented as an overarching concept that is intertwined with various aspects of human life, such as political stability, social equity, economic development, technological innovation, and environmental protection.

The concept encompasses both traditional and non-traditional security issues, and aims to create a balanced approach that fosters social harmony, technological progress, and international cooperation towards a more secure global society. approach is advocated. SSC is a progressive part of a broader security culture and can be used as a guide to building a safety culture.

By providing a new lens through which to view safety and security issues, SSC paves the way for innovative theoretical frameworks, strengthens interdisciplinary collaboration, and develops advanced safety and security solutions. can promote the development of

In conclusion, this paper not only contributes to the theoretical expansion of safety science, but also provides a practical path to improve safety standards and promote a security culture in line with the evolving demands of modern civilization.
