Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues:
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of research on hazard prevention and risk management in safety engineering. Advance prevention has become an effective measure to control safety and intercept accidents, and hazard prevention and risk management are key to accident prevention. The scope of this Special Issue is broad and addresses coal mine, gas or dust explosions, hazardous chemicals, oil and gas storage, and transportation, etc. As we all know, the safety of engineering is vital for human beings, and it has a strong correlation with sustainability and the sustainable development of society.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Quantitative or qualitative risk assessment methods;
- Application of risk assessment method in safe engineering;
- Application of artificial intelligence in hazard prevention and risk management;
- Other applications of hazard prevention and risk management in safety engineering not identified in the above list.
I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.
