| An event or processor thing is usually considered '''safe''' when it has no potential to harm living creatures directly or indirectly beyond a [[faction]]'s agreed upon [[threshold of acceptable risk]].

|
| Often these "agreed upon" standards are set by one party and accepted by another who is usually forced to trust the [[authority]] of [[regulators]], along with thier own personal judgement. For example, in a [[democracy]], a [[political party]] ([[faction]]) will be elected to pass laws to set a '''safety [[w:safety standard|standard]]'''.

| Some claim '''safety''' can be objectively and globally defined by referring to "[[ecoregion]]s of origin" and the "native or not" status of organisms - there must be a rigorous [[audit]] of organisms crossing borders due to human action. [[w:safe trade|Safe trade]] is cross-border trade which satisfies this definition. It is promoted by [[Greenpeace]], [[biosafety]] and [[biosecurity]] activists.

There is a range of [[audit]] procedures one might apply to determine what is "[[not safe]]". [[Faction]]s make it impossible to settle on one strict and global definition, so this is a '''''[[contested term]] - see [[glossary]] for other such contested terms.'''''

| ''''Safety''' and an objective definition for it is out of scope of Consumerium, except where it affects choices about [[privacy]] (especially [[identifying people]]), and is implied by a [[label]].
