Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Safety is one of the most important issues in modern industrial plants and industrial activities. The role of Safety Engineering is to ensure that production systems have acceptable safety levels, not only to respect local laws and regulations, but also to improve production efficiency and to reduce manufacturing costs. For these reasons, the choice of a proper model for risk assessment is crucial.
Emergency management in industrial plants is a fundamental issue to ensure the safety of operators. The emergency management analyzes two fundamental aspects: system reliability and human reliability. System reliability is the capability of ensuring the functional properties within a variability of work conditions, considering possible deviations due to unexpected events. However, system reliability is strongly related to the reliability of its weakest component. The complexity of the processes could generate incidental situations, and the worker appears (human reliability) to be the weakest part of the whole system.
This 2nd Edition of the Special Issue seeks research papers on various aspects of industrial safety, risk management, and reliability allocation in production systems. The main aims of this Special Issue are:
- To provide a review of safety literature to identify the range of qualitative and quantitative techniques;
- To carry out an assessment of their strengths and weaknesses;
- To understand the connections between safety, reliability, and maintenance.
- To understand the connections between human reliability and safety system
- To understand the connections between occupational health and safety.
We especially encourage the submission of interdisciplinary work and multicountry collaborative research. We also encourage the submission of manuscripts presenting safety models that focus on issues related to industrial plants, production systems, and maintenance models. We welcome original research papers using different study designs as well as systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2500 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
