      Definition exampleNarrow SSC is defined as
      the level of civilization in people's safety and security ideas, safety and security behaviors, and comprehensive safety and security guarantee conditions at a certain period and space.      		Safety culture refers to the common safety concept, safety behavior mode, and safety atmosphere formed by society, organizations and groups at a certain
      time and space.      		Generalized SSC can be defined as the level of civilization on safety and security aspects in the process of human survival, reproduction, and development, which includes the cognitive and behavioral patterns of human safety and security, the safety and security collaborative relationships formed among humans, the social safety and security guarantee system constructed by humans and its applications, and the vision of sustainable human safety and security development.Safety culture refers to the integration of all soft and hard conditions that have formed and inherent safety attitudes and safety handling methods, as well as the protection of external harmful factors that pose a threat to human physical and mental health, at a certain stage of human social development and in all areas of human activity.
