Abstract:

In order to strengthen the understanding of unsafe-condition, clarify the relationship between unsafe-condition and risk, and better promote the construction of dual prevention mechanisms for enterprises, based on the summary of the existing definitions of unsafe-condition, the definition and exact English expression of unsafe-condition were proposed from the perspective of risk. Through deep analysis of the relationship between unsafe-condition and risk management and control, the significance of redefining unsafe-condition based on risk was illustrated. Combining the problems in the investigation and management of unsafe-condition and the essence of the construction of dual prevention mechanisms, the idea of dynamic management and control of unsafe-condition based on risk was put forward, including taking risk hierarchical management and control as the premise and foundation, carrying out unsafe-condition hierarchical management based on risk evaluation, and finally realizing dynamic monitoring and hierarchical management and control of unsafe-condition by using information technology. The results show that unsafe-condition is an unidentified risk, or an unsafe state where the risk has not been effectively controlled and exceeds the acceptable level of people's risk. Its English expression is unsafe-condition. The investigation and management of unsafe-condition should be carried out based on the idea of risk classification management and control, timely discovering unsafe-condition through the state of uncontrolled risks, and treating unsafe-condition based on the idea of risk management and control, the essence of which is to control risks.

Key words: risk, unsafe-condition, English expression, hierarchical management and control, investigation and management
