Abstract

Abstract: To identify the differences in construction of safety engineering discipline between China and other countries, this paper analyzed the background and development of university research and teaching devoted to safety in Europe through literature review based on safety science chair (group) in Aston University and Delft University of Technology. Furthermore, a Hall model was built for notions of safety engineering discipline though the three dimensions including time, logic and knowledge. It shows that the chair of safety science was inspired by the transition of safety supervision mechanism from compliance to self-regulation based on goal-setting, and that the discipline of safety science is a separated, systematic multi-discipline drawn from technical backgrounds but beyond them.

Key words: safety science, safety engineering, discipline, discipline notations, Hall model
