Every person wants to feel protected from any troubles. However, the modern world is unpredictable. This means that there is a need to take care of achieving security. What does it mean? Such a condition implies the protection of all vital interests of the individual, as well as the state and society as a whole from all kinds of external or internal threats. Thus, safety is an integral property of all known systems. In itself, the desired concept is quite complex and has its own classification.
Types of life safety
Currently, about a dozen of its categories are distinguished: environmental, industrial, information, fire, economic, military, internal, external, national ... All these are the main types of security adopted by the current governments of all countries of the world. The material below will examine in detail each of these categories.
Environmental friendliness
This group includes such conditions, actions and processes that are aimed at ensuring the ecological balance in the existing environment. It should be noted that such types of security should not bear any damage or threats to the normal functioning of the system. In addition, environmental safety implies all kinds of measures to ensure the protection of the most important interests of each individual and humanity as a whole, as well as the natural environment from any existing or potential threats. The latter, in turn, can be created by both anthropogenic and natural factors affecting the world. Existing types of life safety imply that the objects of environmental protection include the spiritual and material needs of the subjects, their rights. In addition, they include all kinds of natural resources, as well as the entire environment as the material basis of state and social development.
EB systematization
Like all other types of safety, environmental protection has its own order. In this case, it is a special mechanism that provides an acceptable value for the negative impact of both natural and man-made factors on the person himself and his environment. They traditionally include a comprehensive environmental assessment, monitoring of territories and all kinds of management decisions. Security methods include:
1. Methods of environmental quality control (strictly quantitative measurement methods). This group includes only those methods that can result in the exact value of a numerical parameter. This includes chemical, optical, physical, etc., or biological means (they are referred to as qualitative methods, since the result is obtained in verbal form).
2. Methods, including modeling and forecasting of possible results (system analysis, dynamics, etc.).
3. Combined methods: consist of various groups of the above funds (for example, environmental and toxicological).
4. Environmental quality management.
National security
The types of security that belong to this category are a combination of officially accepted directions and development goals, as well as a national strategy in relation to the field of maintaining the level of protection of each individual and the public as a whole from external and internal threats of a different nature (political, social, military, environmental, technogenic and so on) with timely consideration of existing opportunities and resources. Thus, national security consists of many separate groups: state, industrial, information, public, energy, economic and others. In addition, individual protection should be highlighted separately. Therefore, at present there are a wide variety of types of threats to the security of the normal functioning of the country. Ensuring the required level of protection includes a whole range of legal, health, military, social and political processes and activities, the main task of which is to achieve the normal functioning of the whole nation, as well as the preliminary elimination of all possible threats. Such actions traditionally include the protection of the state and social system, territorial integrity and sovereignty, the independence of the people, the protection of public order and much more. Thus, the bodies responsible for national security are intelligence, army, law enforcement and medical structures.
Hazardous production facilities
Among all others, currently there are such types of security threats that arise during any emergencies in the industrial sector. This category also includes the consequences of the occurrence of the above threats. It should be noted that such types of safety do not belong to the field of labor protection. Both of these topics only partially affect each other. The main objective of industrial security is to minimize or completely eliminate the consequences of industrial emergencies. Separately, it is necessary to explain what exactly is meant by the previously named definition. An accident is the destruction of any technical devices and / or structures used in production. Uncontrolled explosions and releases of substances hazardous to humans or the environment are also included in this category. At the same time, labor protection is aimed at preserving the health and life of employees. Thus, based on everything said above, the conclusion suggests itself that there are emergency situations that do not harm workers. However, reverse cases are possible when there is a threat to the health or life of the organization’s employees.
Types of Fire Safety
Perhaps one of the most terrible disasters in the modern world is a fire, because during the course of chemical reactions various combustion products are released and quickly spread. Therefore, it is necessary to take all possible measures to prevent the threat of its occurrence. Such types of security traditionally include a set of measures, which is characterized by the ability to eliminate the threat of the appearance and spread of fire. In addition, special attention is paid to the effects of the most dangerous factors on people and various property. Therefore, ensuring fire safety is achieved by installing fire prevention systems, as well as special fire protection. In addition, among the employees from time to time it is necessary to carry out various organizational and technical measures and briefings. Such actions will help to increase the literacy of citizens in emergency situations. It should be noted that such conversations are the most common types of fire safety briefings.
The basic principle
All modern norms and rules are based on a single provision, which states that the occurrence and development of a fire is impossible if the interaction of the ignition source and any combustible material is completely excluded. Actually, based on the above principle, fire safety rules are being developed. Thus, the main task of all such events is the separation of the source of fire and combustible material to prevent fire. However, in many cases it is impossible to completely isolate the above parts, since it is thanks to them that the technological process exists. In such situations, hazardous rooms and equipment located in them are reliably protected by special automatic systems, such as alarms (light, sound, etc.) and emergency shutdown.
Types of fire safety briefings
As mentioned earlier, one of the most effective organizational and technical measures is conversations with employees of the enterprise. Currently, the following types of safety briefings are distinguished: introductory, primary, repeated, unscheduled and targeted. All of them are aimed at improving the literacy of employees in case of fire.
Information security
Currently, this category is a special state of the technogenic environment. It is characterized by maximum data protection. Such types of information security are aimed at preventing the so-called “leaks” of important information, as well as preventing unauthorized actions in relation to them. The basis for ensuring the information security of any protected object is the installation of specialized devices. They are called the information security system (ISMS). It is believed that every large object or organization that works with confidential information actively uses such devices. Thus, the presented types of security systems should:
1. Meet the requirements of specific organizations.
2. Take into account the requirements of both international and national legislation.
3. Introduce established standards and practices for building systems.
4. To identify units and to distribute areas of responsibility between them.
5. Implement the requirements of the Information Security Policy.
Safety
In the modern world there is a principle according to which everyone has the right to work. The latter is determined by the needs and priorities of the subject. However, with all this, the employer must protect the employee from possible dangers that may arise during production activities. Currently, the following types of labor safety are distinguished: legal, organizational, technical, socio-economic and other measures aimed at creating favorable conditions for each employee.
Financial security
Such a condition of the subject is traditionally characterized by the presence of stable profits and other resources, the possession of which allows maintaining a normal standard of living both in the current period of time and in the near future. These types of safety precautions include maintaining familiar solvency, securing employment, and planning cash flows for future periods.
Defense Against War Threats
A similar category can be considered as an important component of national security. This wording implies the protection of both each individual person and the entire state and society as a whole from military threats. Thus, we can say that the probability of occurrence of the previously described development of events is minimized. Similar results can be achieved due to the lack of motives for the use of military force. Among other things, it should be noted that the category of security under consideration has a set of both internal and external aspects. The former clearly illustrate the ability to deter aggression from outside, as well as the possibilities of counteraction. The second, in turn, is a system of measures that are aimed at creating and maintaining the readiness of every citizen to prevent military conflicts.
Internal security
The group under consideration is aimed at the implementation of various measures to create and maintain safe conditions within the country. All the described actions must be developed, focusing on a successful fight against all kinds of offenses within a particular state.
Protection from outside influences
It is believed that the so-called external security is traditionally achieved through the correct resolution of economic, political, social and other situations that arise outside the country. The main and most important goal of such events is to prevent the threat of international terrorism.
