Abstract:

To enhance the awareness of practitioners, strengthen safety risk control, and effectively reduce the risk of accidents, it is necessary to systematically sort out the theoretical achievements related to risk classification and control and hidden danger investigation and management, deeply explore the practical problems caused by conceptual deviations, and clarify the logical relationship among risks, danger, and source of danger. The results show that an accident is the ultimate product of uncontrolled danger; every accident must have potential danger. Danger stems from the inherent harmfulness of the danger source and is a subjective evaluation of it. Risk is a subjective unity of value and danger; to obtain value, one must bear the risk. The degree of risk is determined by the degree of danger, and the greater inherent harmfulness of the danger source means a higher risk.

Key words: risk, danger, source of danger, risk classification and control, harmfulness
