METHODOLOGICAL PROCEDURE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF TECHNICAL INSTALLATIONS.

The paper deals with meaning the term "safety" and concentrates to its sense for technical installations. It shows relations of terms reliability, resiliency, criticality, risk and safety. It characterizes process safety management and safety management system at technical installations. It describes methodology for ensuring the safety of technical installations. The highest quality of each object (i.e. the State, human community, technical installation etc.) is safety, so the highest priority for the object is the overall (integral) safety. This means that it is not only about partial safety such as internal, external, environmental, fire, economic, etc., but about the safety of the whole, which includes partial safety so that the condition of the whole, is optimal. Due to the systemic nature of today's world, integral safety cannot be built without regard to others. Very important is the safety of basic processes, which ensure products and services for human society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
