environmental safety
Nature harm prevention
Environmental safety refers to practices and conditions that protect both people and ecosystems from hazards—pollution, toxic substances, radiation, or other threats arising from human activity or natural phenomena.
The term spans workplace protocols, regulatory standards, and broader efforts to prevent harm: The factory was cited for environmental safety violations.
It overlaps with occupational health but emphasizes the surrounding environment rather than individual workers alone.
