Abstract: In order to provide a theoretical basis for discipline construction and safety management practice, fundamentals of previous safety science were analyzed by using literature research and comprehensive analysis, expressions of fundamentals were obtained. The results show that safety science has three perspectives: accident prevention, risk management and comprehensive generalization. There are different expressions for basic subject issues, namely, basic term, research object, research purpose, research content, research method, subject attribute, research scope, basic axiom, subject definition and content boundary from each perspective. At present, in terms of inclusion ability of research content, overall logic, difficulty or practicability of understanding and completeness of basic theory, expression of fundamentals of discipline from perspective of accident prevention is the best. In the course of discipline construction and safety practice, it is necessary to choose discipline perspective, way of thinking and expression of discipline fundamentals according to actual needs.

Key words: safety science, fundamentals, research object, accident prevention, risk management
