Title:  New Safety Standards as a «Product» of Liberal Economy
Abstract:  The article author examines the Russian legislation related to technical standard elaboration and identifies the key issue that should be addressed today. The fact is that today the concept of safety that should be seen as an absolute is described in the safety requirements as a relative concept in terms of the probability theory. Thus, the safety requirements and standards actually turn into the “acceptable accident rate standards”. He then makes a conclusion that the high accident rate in this country is intertwined with the gaps in the relevant legislation.
