Validity of Use of Various Concepts of Risk Management and Risk Engineering in Practice

The paper passes judgement of concepts of management disciplines and the engineering disciplines directed to trade-off (negotiation) with risks that have been used with aim to ensure the safety of buildings, territories and human communities considered as systems. Individual concepts of these disciplines fulfil different goals, are based on various assumptions, have different demands on knowledge, data, forces, sources and means, and therefore, they involve different measures and activities for implementation in practice. The investigation, the results of which are furthermore presented, categorizes tasks in practice in which it is necessary to use very advanced procedures and in which simple ones are sufficient. The special attention is paid to engineering domain and to cases in which advanced procedures may be used for ensuring the safety of both, the system of systems and the system of systems´ vicinity
