A risk evaluation support device is used for a safety network which serves to cause an output device to make a controlled device operable based on a detection signal outputted from an input device when the input device detects a safety condition. The support device creates a parameter setting table for correlating a danger source with the input and output devices and a PLC for risk evaluation based on configuration data of the safety network obtained through a communication part and device data on devices obtained from a component database. Operating data for the safety network are obtained according to conditions provided by the parameter setting table and a current risk evaluation value for the danger source is calculated based on the obtained operating data. The calculated risk evaluation value is outputted to a display part.
