    A safety margin, also known as a safety factor, is a term used to describe the extent to which a system, structure or process can withstand a demand or pressure beyond its standard or normal capacity. It is essentially a buffer zone that is built into calculations, designs, or plans to account for uncertainties, risks or unexpected situations.
