Answer / ravin vasani
Hello,
For security, it might help to think of access control. Thus
information security would be about who has access to
information. Home security would be the subject of people
coming near or into your home, and what happens when this
occurs. Similarly airport security. Décodeur mentioned the
element of "control" involved in security. National security
can be looked at this way as well.
Safety simply speaks to the issue of potential harm.
This is a neat subject, because some languages do not have
distinct words for these.
e4: Security is preferred here. Safety would have a
different shade of meaning, but it would be OK.
e5: Security.
Neither includes the whole of either, though in some ways
they overlap. Your e4 might be a good example of such
overlap although I think in all cases there would be
different shades of meaning. Best to think of them as
non-overlapping.
Note that safety refers to avoidance of injury or harm.
Security refers to control, access control, integrity. With
safety, bad things are those which can harm. With security,
bad things are those which violate procedure. If someone
gets near the President who should not, it is a gross
violation of security whether the interloper has a gun, or a
magic lamp, or is trying to return the ten million dollars
he borrowed.
Safety: A matter or injury and health.
Security: A matter of control, procedure, protection of
property, access control.
This is actually a tough one. I hope some of this ramble
actually helped.
