Review and Expectation of Application of the Mechanism of the Biological Immune System in Work Safety Management

The mechanism of accident prevention is similar to the hazard immunological recognition of the biological immune system. In a word, an enterprise (or industry park) is like an organism and the safety management system is similar to the biological immune system. Thus, safety management measures are the accident immune factors, which identify and manage the hazardous factors so as to avoid accidents. In this paper, the development of the preparation and application of the biological immune system in work safety management was reviewed, and the corresponding problems are discussed and forecasted. The author points out that the accident immune model based on the biological immune mechanism, which has the functions of assessment of danger immunological tolerance, prevention & early warning of accident, emergency response to accident, and rapid recovery after accident, is the main direction of current research.
