The safety of the state infrastructure and population depends on the effective actions of the state, local governments, merchants and authorities in the event of an accident, disaster or emergency situation (hereinafter – ES). One of the most important prerequisites for the existence and safe and effective planned development of the country and society is the identification and assessment of potential risks of the ES, in order to reduce hazards and ensure effective risk management. Hazards can only be reduced by identifying risks at all possible levels and by taking appropriate reasonable decisions to prevent them. The risks involved should be identified for the purposes of their management and efficient planning of preventive measures and to allow preparing the necessary resources on a daily basis, as well as for their efficient management in the ES circumstances. Although risk and safety are the terms extensively used worldwide and potential hazards of economic consequences are measured in millions of euro, there are very few sources of references in the Latvian language regarding risk assessment of technogenic accidents. The goal of the research is to consider the essence of modern technogenic environment in Latvia and the world. To achieve this goal, the following objective is set: to explore and analyse the importance, development and range of problems of the safety system of the global technogenic environment.
