Introduction
As industrial technology advances, the complexity of identifying and mitigating safety risks increases. Plant Managers and Engineers must understand that safety and risk management are integral to the daily operations of their plants and systems to meet ever-evolving international and national environmental and economic standards. Neglecting safety protocols can lead to financial losses from accidents, disruptions in production, legal actions, diminished market presence, and damage to both company assets and the environment.
