We aim at a management framework of an organization in order to achieve its safety in a limited case for a system in-volving the organization for the service, its users and the surrounding society. The proposed framework is possible to allow safety managers to specify tasks involving safety measures based on the concept of “a study of safety”. In the beginning, we discuss the definitions of safety and acceptance, which will be the target of safety management. Next, problems in which the hierarchy of components in the safety systems involves are noted. We then propose the following details of the management framework to achieve the safety of the service of the organization based on acceptance by the surrounding society. Applications of the components in the proposed framework are effectively demonstrated. The shown application can aid in visualizing a way of specification of the proposed concept in a target system.
