// Class description:
//
// G4ITSafetyHelper is a duplicated version of G4SafetyHelper
// This class is a helper for physics processes which require 
// knowledge of the safety, and the step size for the 'mass' geometry

// First version:  J. Apostolakis,  July 5th, 2006
// Modified:
//  10.04.07 V.Ivanchenko  Use unique G4ITSafetyHelper
