Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The process industry plays a prominent role in creating and maintaining modern-day life. Many scholars thus conduct research on process safety to prevent accidents such as fires, explosions, and toxic material release. However, many accidents still occur in the process industry each year. To better protect the process industry, it is important to review the recent advances in the process industry, find out the research limitations, and discuss future research needs. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to publish novel research related to the recent advances in process safety. The research topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Risk assessment progress in the process industry;
- Risk management progress in the process industry;
- Hazard identification progress in the process industry;
- Decision-making progress in process safety;
- Safety culture in the process industry;
- Major accident prevention in the process industry;
- Domino effect accident assessment and prevention in the process industry;
- Bibliometric analysis of process safety;
- Digitalization progress in process safety;
- Machine learning progress in process safety;
- Past accident analysis.
