Human Safety as a Fundamental Need Safety is a fundamental human need, second only to physiological needs according to Maslow's hierarchy. Modern civilization constantly faces safety challenges due to environmental changes caused by consumerist attitudes towards nature, leading to pollution and climate change. Humans must be prepared for these challenges through education in life safety principles.
Biosphere vs Technosphere: Definitions and Interactions The biosphere encompasses all regions of Earth where life exists, including the lower atmosphere, hydrosphere, and upper lithosphere. Human activities are increasingly replacing natural environments with the technosphere—urban areas designed for comfortable living but filled with harmful factors. Understanding this shift is crucial for developing effective protection methods against rising dangers.
Objectives of Life Safety Science Life safety science aims to study hazards in various environments (industrial, urban) and develop protective systems against them. It involves identifying danger zones within the technosphere and creating control systems for managing these risks effectively while also educating people on basic survival skills during emergencies.
'Safe Living' Defined Through Scientific Principles 'Safe living' refers to maintaining safe interactions between humans and their environment based on scientific norms ensuring comfort without compromising health or security. This discipline emphasizes monitoring habitats’ conditions continuously while setting permissible limits on pollutants (PDCs), emissions (PDVs), energy impacts etc., thus fostering an educated society capable of mitigating disaster consequences efficiently.
