Journal of Industrial Safety Engineering

Journal of Industrial Safety Engineering Journal of Industrial Safety Engineering [2395-6674(e)] is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2011 aiming to keep a record of high-quality work and intends to publish Research /Review / Short Articles in the field of Industrial safety engineering. The Journal covers a wide range of Multidimensional challenges and provides a platform for motivating personnel in the area of Industrial Safety.

• Risk assessment and analysis: hazard identification methods including HAZOP, FMEA, and what-if analysis, quantitative and probabilistic risk assessment, bow-tie and fault tree analysis, consequence modelling, risk acceptance criteria, and uncertainty in risk estimation.
• Process safety and hazardous materials: loss of containment scenarios, chemical reactivity and thermal runaway, storage and transport of hazardous substances, spill and leak prevention, layer of protection analysis, safety instrumented systems, and management of change in process plants.
• Fire and explosion safety: fire dynamics and modelling, fire-resistant materials and passive protection, detection and suppression system design, explosion prevention and venting, dust explosion hazards, evacuation modelling, and performance-based fire safety design.
• Construction and site safety: fall protection and working at height, excavation and confined space safety, scaffolding and temporary works, lifting and crane operations, site hazard control, safety planning and method statements, and contractor safety management.
• Machinery, equipment, and electrical safety: machine guarding and interlocks, lockout–tagout procedures, pressure equipment integrity, maintenance safety, arc flash and electrical hazard assessment, and functional safety of control systems.
• Occupational health and industrial hygiene: exposure assessment and control of chemical, physical, and biological agents, noise and vibration exposure, ventilation and respiratory protection, personal protective equipment selection and effectiveness, and occupational disease prevention.
• Human factors and ergonomics: workplace and workstation design, manual handling and musculoskeletal risk, shift work, fatigue, and workload, human error taxonomies and prediction, human–machine interface design, and behavioural safety interventions.
• Safety management systems and culture: implementation and auditing of safety management systems, leading and lagging performance indicators, safety climate measurement, leadership and worker participation, contractor and supply chain safety, and continuous improvement frameworks.
• Standards, regulation, and compliance: development and application of national and international safety standards, regulatory frameworks and enforcement, conformity assessment, comparative analysis of regulatory regimes, and legal and ethical dimensions of workplace safety.
• Accident investigation and organisational learning: incident and near-miss reporting systems, root cause and systemic analysis methods, case studies of major accidents, data-driven accident modelling, and translation of investigation findings into practice.
• Emergency preparedness and response: emergency planning and drills, evacuation and shelter strategies, incident command and coordination with emergency services, business continuity, and post-incident recovery.
• Safety technology and digital monitoring: sensor networks and wearable safety devices, drones and remote inspection of hazardous areas, real-time alerting systems, machine learning for predictive safety analytics, digital twins for hazard simulation, and automation and robotics in dangerous operations.
• Structural and geotechnical safety in industrial settings: integrity assessment of industrial structures and plant, foundation and slope stability affecting facility safety, resilience of infrastructure to seismic, wind, and extreme loading, and structural failure prevention and monitoring.
• Environmental safety and disaster resilience: control of industrial emissions and discharges, waste and effluent handling, natural hazard impacts on industrial facilities, NaTech (natural hazard triggered technological accident) risk, and resilient design and recovery planning.
