Task №1.
The main provisions of the concept of acceptable risk are as follows:
 All objects, processes and phenomena are potentially dangerous to human
life.
 Any activity is potentially dangerous to humans.
 No activity can achieve absolute safety.
 Safety of any system can be achieved with any degree of probability.

Risk reduction measures can be divided into 4 groups: planned measures, swift
action, engineering and technological.

Give other examples of natural and man-made risk reduction measures.

Types of risk reduction measures
Measures
General restriction of the use of
areas and zones with a high risk
of natural disasters
Placement of hazardous sites in
areas, where the risk from the
impact of these facilities is
minimal.
Excluding the construction of
facilities whose damage leads to
unacceptably high damage.
Active suppression of
episodically emerging natural
hazards.
Selecting ways to minimise the
consequences of exposure from
hazards.
Organise alert and rapid response
services.
Construction of engineering
defences to limit the spread or
intensity of the impact.
Use of cleaning equipment
The application of special design
solutions.
Avoiding the use of overly
dangerous technologies,
machines, and substances.
Limitation of hazardous process
parameters.

My example
Planned measures
Avoiding development on
landslide slopes
A prohibition on the construction
of such facilities in the vicinity of
residential buildings.
Stopping the design for the
construction of a gas pipeline
from the Kovykta gas condensate
field along the bottom of Lake
Baikal.
Swift action
Avalanche shelling in the
mountains.
Use of personal protective
equipment (PPE).
Fire service.
Engineering measures
Construction of protection dykes.
The use of cyclones for flue gas
cleaning.
Use of non-combustible materials
for interior decoration.
Technological measure
Refusal to use certain insecticides
and pesticides in agriculture (e.g,
DDT).
Use of a temperature sensor.
Your example
Implementation of strict building
codes to protect against
earthquakes.
Development of a tornado
warning system with sirens and
alerts.
A ban on construction near
chemical plants.
Implementation of evacuation
plans for the population near
active volcanoes.
Creation of operational water
rescue teams for flood-prone
regions.
Implement first aid training
programs for community
members.
Installation of seismic isolation
systems in critical infrastructure.
Construction of check dams to
control soil erosion in hilly areas.
Installation of storm sewer
systems in cities.
Choosing water-based paints
instead of solvent-based paints.
Use of automated shut-off valves
in industrial processes.
