ABSTRACT

Applying and developing specific methodologies, a system of definitions/ concepts is characterized and elaborated which is intended to be coherent and sufficiently comprehensive to allow for a terminological treatment of the Management Process Risk and, consequently, contribute to a justified uniformity of the terminology applicable to Safety Engineering. This paper proposes a coherent and interrelational structure of concepts, definitions, and terms, focused on the risk concept. As a conclusion and synthesizing those definitions, it was possible to construct a proto glossary with biunivocal relations between them.
