Relevance. The reverse side of scientific and technological, social, and economic progress is the increased risk of occurrence and negative impact of danger on human life and the environment. That is why improving safety is one of the most pressing challenges today. It is impossible to create absolute safety, but to minimize the likelihood of danger - a feasible but challenging task, because it requires people, above all, to rethink and re-evaluate the experience and knowledge of modern science, in other words, a radical change in worldview human. To achieve this goal, create new areas of knowledge that combine a variety of current and past human experiences. One example of such a complex combination of knowledge is the training course "Life Safety and Labour Protection", which is based on a systematic approach to the analysis and solution of human safety issues.
