Overview

In an era defined by automation, artificial intelligence, and Industry 4.0, Industrial Safety and Risk Engineering stands as a definitive guide to understanding, managing, and mastering risk in the modern industrial world. This comprehensive and deeply researched book bridges classical safety principles with emerging technologies - combining engineering precision, management science, and ethical foresight into a single authoritative volume. Written for engineers, safety professionals, and industry leaders, it explores how today's factories, energy plants, and digital production systems can achieve zero-accident operations through proactive design, predictive analytics, and resilient culture. From the evolution of industrial safety thinking to the integration of AI-driven risk models, this book is your complete roadmap to engineering safer, smarter, and more sustainable industries. Inside You'll Discover: ✅ Foundations of Industrial Safety - The evolution of safety management systems, hazard identification, and risk assessment techniques such as HAZOP, FMEA, FTA, and JSA. ✅ Reliability and Failure Analysis - Practical insights into MTBF, MTTR, and Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) with real industrial applications. ✅ Human Factors and Ergonomics - Understanding human reliability, cognitive safety, and error prevention through design and training. ✅ Fire, Chemical, and Mechanical Safety - Comprehensive coverage of safety in high-risk operations including chemical plants, foundries, refineries, and power systems. ✅ Process Safety Management (PSM) - Implementation of OSHA and ISO 45001 frameworks for large-scale industrial risk control. ✅ Digital Transformation of Safety - Integration of IoT sensors, digital twins, and AI-based predictive maintenance in Industry 4.0 environments. ✅ Legal and Ethical Frameworks - Corporate social responsibility, insurance, and post-disaster litigation analysis (including the Bhopal Gas Tragedy). ✅ Real-World Case Studies - Detailed analyses from Toyota, Shell, NASA, NTPC, Tesla Gigafactory, and more, showing how global leaders built resilient safety cultures. ✅ Emerging Frontiers - Explore the future of risk engineering in cyber-safety, nanotechnology, bio-manufacturing, and machine-human collaboration. Why This Book MattersSafety is no longer a compliance checkbox - it is a strategic, ethical, and technological imperative. This book redefines industrial safety as a continuous design problem, blending theory with actionable frameworks, quantitative tools, and lessons drawn from some of history's most powerful industrial case studies. Whether you are a mechanical engineer, safety manager, risk analyst, industrial consultant, or academic researcher, this book will help you: Anticipate, assess, and mitigate complex risks across modern industrial systems. Build resilient organizations that can learn, adapt, and recover from failure. Harness digital technologies like AI, IoT, and predictive analytics for proactive safety management. Understand the moral and economic dimensions of safety in a globally connected industrial ecosystem. Perfect For: Safety & Risk Management Professionals Mechanical, Process, and Manufacturing Engineers Industrial Consultants & EHS Managers Postgraduate Engineering Students & Researchers Policy Makers & Corporate Leaders in Industry 4.0
