Short title: Process Safety and Security
Motivation and Scope
For more than two decades, digital technologies have been changing how the process industries are operating. This evolution has led to not only vast work automation with less human engagement but also new risks and challenges. The extensive use of robotics called for by ambitious programs aiming to redesign industrial production processes, as the Industry 4.0, is dramatically transforming the safety and security landscape in process industries. Intelligent production processes need a new approach to process and product safety. The standalone process and the transportation units, connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), are becoming more attractive to terrorists. In this framework, the need for a new approach to Safety and Security of production processes is evident. The safety culture change has not been well managed to meet the demand for digital transformation. Several stakeholders in the EU recognize the need for a Safety 4.0 program to be developed parallel to Industry 4.0. Under such context, the theories and principles, methods and techniques for safety and security management must be updated. Progress and update of methodologies are needed in all the steps of the management process: identification of hazard and threats, quantitative assessment, risk treatment, barrier management. This special issue aims to consolidate the literature on the emerging safety and security issues in the digital age and provide an overview of the state-of-art of theories, principles, and methods that can give potential solutions to these issues.
This special issue invites original papers on topics related to the scientific, engineering, and social science challenges and solutions related to the safety and security of digitalized production process systems in the chemical, oil and gas, mining, nuclear, and other process industries. Review articles relevant to this field are also welcome.
