Summary/Abstract: The article presents the legal aspects of the positioning of a new scientific discipline – the science of safety in the systematics of Polish science. The determinants of the genesis of this discipline derive from the growing threat to global security. Subsequently, interest in security issues in other scientific disciplines was analyzed, and the resulting difficulty in identifying the identity of the safety sciences was clearly outlined. The author proposed a functional approach to the relationship between safety and risk in the context of risk analysis.
