QUESTION 1
Safety and unsafety are implicit in every situation in life. Distinguish between safety and
unsafety as bases of safety risk. (10)
❖ Safety is a state or condition of being safe and,
therefore, it is the preferred or ideal state of living
Safety refers to being safe from harm or damage,
that is, being free from unsafe factors,
but this is not always possible.
❖ Unsafety is present when particular circumstances are unsafe, in other words, dangerous.
Unsafety presents a safety risk that exposes a person to harm and
property or the environment to damage.
Unsafety is indicative of circumstances
that present a threat to humans, property or the environment which can result in
adverse effects.
