摘要
In this paper I will not so much address the status of safety science as a science, but rather address the status or meaning of safety. So instead of entering into a discussion of whether safety science is a proper science - whatever that means - the focus will be on whether the notion of safety itself is a proper subject for scientific investigation or indeed whether safety as such is an appropriate topic or subject for a scientific discipline.
