Dangers, their classification

According to origin there can be distinguished natural, technogenic, anthropogenic, ecological, social (including military, criminogenic) dangers.

Dangers are also primary and secondary.

The primary danger is directly related to the threatening factor, the secondary one is the result of it, and it is important to note that the consequences of secondary dangers often outweigh the results of the primary ones. For example, fires, often caused by explosions, represent secondary danger.

By the nature of the effect directly on human body there can be identified mechanical, physical, chemical, biological, psycho-physiological dangers.

Dangers can cause different consequences:

> Harm to person - discomfort, fatigue, disease, trauma, death;

> Damage - social, technical, environmental, economic, intellectual.

Spheres of dangers: domestic, sports, socio-cultural, scientific, industrial, transport, military, etc.

Taking into account all available scientific and practical experience in the field of human safety, humanity has realized that any human activity is potentially dangerous. That is, it is impossible to achieve absolute safety in any type of activity.
