Inherently Safer Design
Often the properties of a technology which make it hazardous may be the same properties that make it useful. For
example, gasoline is flammable and chlorine is toxic. Control of the hazards is the key issue in safely getting the benefits
of the technology. A key to balancing risks and benefits for any technology is a full understanding of all the hazards.
