Abstract

Although it is perceived else in a variety of fields that safety must be guaranteed above all, the concept of individual safety competence is yet to be accurately defined. For the purpose of the development of the education for bringing up individual safety achievements by defining the concept of safety competence, the result of the examination regarding the concept of safety competence is postulated.The concept of safety competence presented here consists of 3 main elements, that is,'competence for danger anticipation','competence for safety conservation'and'competence for coping with accident'. These 3 main elements of safety competence are respectively followed by medium and lower conception, constituting the systematic and time-series structure.This definition of the concept of safety competence will contribute to the establishment of basic framework of the contents and the aims of the achievement in safety education. Additionally, this concept will present the outline of evaluation method of individual safety competence.(The result of this study is based on the r esearch in up the Research Council for the Development and the Assessment of Safety Competence, which has been set up in the Japanese Society of Safety Education from 2000. )
