Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The topic of safety is relevant to all types of production environments. From process safety to occupational safety or product safety, safety can be applied at different levels. A number of new challenges have been faced by safety today, including the introduction of new production technologies (e.g. additive manufacturing or process intensification) as well as new monitoring opportunities for critical equipment (such as Internet of Things systems - IoT), the impact of climate change (as the increase of NaTech events), and logistics issues (as the Covid19 pandemic).
Modern safety research must investigate new types of risk assessment methodologies and risk management techniques to address these challenges. For modern process plants, in fact, the resilience of the plant is becoming an important element of the safety concept, as is the ability of the system to handle disruptions.
This Special Issue on “Risk Assessment and Safety Management in the Manufacturing Process” aims at gaining a deeper insight into the modern concept of safety and how it can adapt to the new challenges present in the modern process industry.
In particular papers related to the risk assessment methodologies and the management of safety developed to address new technologies and equipment, climate change effect, and the supply chain risks, will be included in this special issue.
Suitable topics include but are not limited to:
- Risk Assessment advanced methodologies;
- Safety Management systems;
- Resilience of the manufacturing process;
- Risk in the supply chain;
- Climate change related hazards;
- Emerging risk;
- Dynamic risk assessment;
- Cyber security in the process and manufacturing plant;
- Na-Tech risk.
