Abstract
Process safety and risk management are crucial aspects of chemical engineering that ensure the safety of industrial processes, protect human health, and minimize environmental impacts. Chemical engineers are responsible for identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with chemical processes to prevent accidents, such as explosions, leaks, and chemical spills. This article discusses the importance of process safety and risk management in chemical engineering, highlighting key concepts such as hazard identification, risk assessment, safety design, and safety culture. The paper also explores the latest advancements in safety technologies, regulatory frameworks, and best practices for managing risks in the chemical industry
