In the past several decades, the size of industrial systems and the technology that grows alongside it has, naturally, expanded. Alongside it, though, the hazardous factors that cause major accidents—like unstable conditions and behavior—have become even more complex, thereby expanding in a similar vein at a breakneck speed.
As such, it’s no longer effective to simply try to minimize these industrial risks with conventional approaches, as these risks grow more complex each day. But if conventional approaches are truly no longer viable, what’s the solution to ensure industrial safety?
