Inherent safety

Inherent safety is when something is designed in a way that makes it safe without having to rely on extra devices or processes. It is like when you wear a helmet to ride a bike; the helmet helps keep you safe, but it is not the only thing keeping you from getting hurt. Inherent safety means that we design things in a way that if something goes wrong, there are systems or features built-in to prevent or minimize damage or harm, without requiring extra steps or equipment. Just like how your bike has brakes which help you stop or slow down when you need to, which is a part of making it safe to ride. Designing things with inherent safety means that they are less likely to cause harm and more likely to keep people and the environment safe.
