Safety is the state of being "safe" (from French sauf), the condition of being protected against physical, social, spiritual, financial, political, emotional, occupational, psychological, educational or other types or consequences of failure, damage, error, accidents, harm or any other event which could be considered non-desirable. This can take the form of being protected from the event or from exposure to something that causes health or economical losses. It can include protection of people or of possessions. MeaningsThere also are two slightly different meanings of safety. For example, home safety may indicate a building's ability to protect against external harm events (such as weather, home invasion, etc), or may indicate that its internal installations (such as appliances, stairs, etc) are safe (not dangerous or harmful) for its habitants. LimitationsSafety can be limited in relation to some guarantee or a standard of insurance to the quality and unharmful function of an object or organization. It is used in order to ensure that the object or organization will do only what it is meant to do. It's important to realize that safety is relative. Eliminating all risk, if even possible, would be extremely difficult and very expensive. A safe situation is one where risks of injury or property damage are low and manageable. Types of safetyIt is important to distinguish between products that meet standards, that are safe, and those that merely feel safe. The highway safety community uses these terms: Normative safetyNormative safety is a term used to describe products or designs that meet applicable design standards. Substantive safetySubstantive, or objective safety means that the real-world safety history is favorable, whether or not standards are met. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I am planning a trip to Puerta Vallarta, Mexico, and I want to leave the resort at least once to check out the town. How can I insure my safety, considering that there are kidnappings in Mexico? Asked by Kingfish - Wed Jan 14 00:19:07 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hi Kingfish, I'm sorry to see that only clowns have answered up until now. It's good to see that you're concerned for your safety, but rest assured that things aren't as bad as the media paints the situation. Remember that they're trying to sell newspapers and airtime, and nothing sells like a little bit of sensationalism. A city like Puerto Vallarta is a very friendly city that thrives on tourism. It is also, as a matter of fact, one of the safest big cities in Mexico (by big I mean 200k+ pop). Are there kidnappings in Mexico, yes, are there kidnappings everywhere else in the world, yes as well.

Q. If a safety shower and eyewash station is placed outside, there is a good chance it will freeze in the winter. OSHA and ANSI are pretty vague on this. Could I use heat tape and how do would I keep it from getting too hot? Asked by Roy E - Sun Aug 26 08:05:32 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Heat tape would work very well, it would not get to hot at all. If you do not have to have it running in the winter then drain it and cut the water off to it but i would assume it is against regulations.
