Safely

Safely is a concept that refers to the condition of being protected from harm or other non-desirable outcomes. It can also refer to the control of recognized hazards in order to achieve an acceptable level of risk.

Overview

Safety can be limited in relation to some guarantee or a standard of insurance to the quality and unharmful function of an object or organization. It is used in order to ensure that the object or organization will do only what it is meant to do. It is important to note that safety is relative. Eliminating all risk, if even possible, would be extremely difficult and very expensive. A safe situation is one where risks of injury or property damage are low and manageable.
