Public safety is an increasing concern because of the dangers which are currently threatening to people as well as society. At every arena of life in the public sphere it is essential to put in place measures to guarantee public security so that health and normal life is always maintained. Certain threats are extremely serious and, following the September 11th terrorist attacks the public's concern for security is greater than ever.

Every nation has its own laws and regulations to ensure safety. But, the general public needs to be more aware now than otherwise because they face numerous dangers coming from all directions and it is essential to be aware of what steps to take to protect themselves in the case incident of an attack. The best way for people to be aware of public security is to receive help from the workers. Professionals offer protection to people in the general public and educate them about how to stay protected in case of natural disasters that are likely to arise and also against other social problems that might occur in the community where they reside.

It is to be noted that public safety isn't limited to just professionals.It is also offered by medical workers who protect the security of the population by addressing health issues and epidemics. Also, it is provided by police officers, guards and environmentalists. As a member of the public it is essential to ensure that all precautions are put in place in the event of a warning about an environmental disaster or attack by an external agency. This is enhanced when both public safety professionals and members of the general public work together to ensure that all systems for public security are in place and the rules set to protect the public are observed in a safe manner.
