1.1. Introduction
Over the XXI century, the world has become no safer. Traditional threats and dangers remain the same, and new ones are emerging. There are increasing social contradictions that increase the vulnerability of urban infrastructures to natural disasters, energy disasters,and terrorist attacks. New infectious diseases are spreading.
With the increase in the number of technical devices used in daily life, the risk of accidents is increasing due to violation of rules of operation and various faults in work. All these factors increase the risks for human life and health significantly.
In this regard, it is crucially important that the issue of safety should be the priority objective and the inner human need. This can be achieved through developing a new system of ideals and values, norms and traditions of safe behavior, i.e., formation of an entire culture of health and safety.
Safety is a necessary condition for further development of civilization.
At present, it becomes obvious that the decision to reduce the risk of various problems should not be limited to regulatory legal, organizational and technical and engineering measures. Effective safety management of the society and state should be implemented through the social sphere, through coordinated behavior and well-regulated social behavior rules (laws, regulations, traditions, science, and politics).
The leading role belongs to such factors as instruction in safe human behavior culture and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
