Research On Engineering Risks And Precautions From The Perspective Of Responsibility Ethics

The vigorous development of modern engineering activities creates the most convenient period of all the time. But, at the same time, a series of engineering risks, which are produced by the large-scale modern engineering activities, have brought many uncertainties to current security and survival of human society. As one of largest engineering countries in the world, China happens frequently engineering accidents. In general, the formation of engineering accidents is derived from failing to effective prevention and control of the engineering risks. In a sense, the engineering risks are essentially kinds of man-made risks. In other words, most of the engineering risks have a profound connection with neglect and fault of engineering subject. So most engineering accidents are man-caused, because engineering subject cares very little of sense of responsibility. Due to this, it is a key factor for how to effectively prevent the engineering risks and reduce engineering accidents that engineering subject have a great sense of ethical responsibility. Actually, it is a crucial step to prevent us from engineering risks by constructing ethical responsibility system of engineering and cultivating sense of ethical responsibility of engineering subject. Ethical research of engineering shows that engineering subject with good moral recognition, moral judgment and moral self-discipline can reduce or control prospectively engineering risks and minimize man-caused engineering risks in engineering activities.This thesis starts to illustrate engineering risks from its concept, connotation and characteristics, and explore the content and significance of ethical evaluation of engineering risks, arid point out the limitations of traditional capitalization model of engineering risks evaluation. Based on this, the thesis analyzes deeply the inner relation between lacking of moral responsibility of engineering subject and generating engineering risks, and fully approaches arguments this paper put forward via specific cases.One of the most possible reasons why engineering subject is short of ethical responsibility is that there is absence of certain ethical system to guide and standardize the behavior of engineering activities. Therefore, this article attempts to put forward to institute ethical standard system of engineering subject. The specific content includes ethical value system of engineering, complete ethical standard system of engineering subject behavior and comprehensive ethical responsibility system of engineering practice process. It is obvious that responsible ethics system of engineering activities subject is a mental barrier for preventing the risks of engineering. The thesis finally summarizes the main limitations of moral self-discipline, and main factors of obstructing effective measures to prevent engineering risks. It also clarifies that there is necessary to prevent engineering risks by coordinating legal system and the technical improvement methods. Besides, it puts forward thread of applying responsibility ethics of engineering to prevent engineering risks.Conclusion part points out the necessity and importance of responsibility ethics under the background of risk social. If modern engineering technical personnel is lack of responsibility ethics guide, technological achievements of engineering will be extremely easy to endanger people’s health, safety and well-being, rather than benefit to human beings.
