    Safety has been a concern since the beginning of civilization as humans developed machines to convert energy and assist with tasks. Early civilizations only used simple, manually operated devices with low risks of failure. As technology advanced, machines became more complex and used fuels, electricity, and other materials that introduced higher risks like fires, explosions, and electrical hazards. Modern industrial civilization utilizes large machines ranging from small household appliances to power plants producing multiple megawatts, requiring greater attention to safety standards and protocols. Online monitoring and computer controls now help manage safety aspects of advanced technological systems.

    Civilizations and Safety Requirements

    • Safety has begun with birth of human civilization.


    • During agricultural age, man used low risk, simple
    manually operated devices, muscle power and animal
    power.
    • The risks were comparatively low.
    • The machines convert energy from one form to
    another and have natural risk of failure and accidents.
    • Machines using fuels, Electricity and flammable
    materials, high pressure fluids have high risk.
    Civilizations and Safety Requirements
    • Industrial civilization uses machines of various rating
    from few watts to several MW.
    • Primary energy in the form of fuels and electricity.
    • In plants have some hazardous places like fuel
    systems, chemical systems, high voltage systems.
    • With advances in technology, the safety received
    higher attention.
    • Online safety techniques have been introduced now
    and online computer controls take care of safety
    aspects.
    Civilization Remarks regarding use of machines and
    Technologies and safety concerns
    • Cave man(< 10,00,000 years) Personal safety from hostile animals and
    natural hazards
    • hunting Man ( 1,00,000 years) Personal safety from hostile animals and
    natural hazards

    • Agriculture Man (< 5000 BC) Only simple manually operated or animal
    operated

    • Industrial Man (20th Century) •Steam engine, IC engine


    •Electrical generators / motors
