Pinch analysis-based approach to Industrial Safety risk and environmental management
Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy, 2016Co-Authors: Raymond R. Tan, Mustafa Kamal Abdul Aziz, Dominic C. Y. Foo, Hon Loong LamAbstract:Pinch Analysis is an established method for enhancing the sustainability of Industrial processes via efficient use of various resources. It is based on the principle of target identification followed by subsequent system design aided by a problem decomposition strategy based on the Pinch Point. This approach has recently been extended to apply to a broad range of structurally analogous problems in various domains, such as financial management and carbon-constrained energy planning. In this work, a novel graphical methodology for Industrial Safety risk and environmental management is proposed. In this method, it is assumed that a set of risk or pollution reduction measures is available, and that each measure is characterized by its implementation cost and the degree of benefit that it delivers. These data are then used to generate a source composite curve. Targeting can then be achieved by shifting this curve relative to a pre-defined sink composite curve, which represents the locus of the plant management’s “willingness to pay,” or budget relative to benefits with respect to risk or pollutant reduction. The methodology is then demonstrated on two case studies. The first case is based on the well-known Bhopal incident, while the second case focuses on the reduction of airborne fluoride emissions from brick firing plant.

Service Orientation in Holonic and Multi-agent Manufacturing - From Centralized Modelling to Distributed Design in Risk Assessment and Industrial Safety: Survey and Proposition
Studies in Computational Intelligence, 2015Co-Authors: Nadhem Aissani, Islam Hadj Mohamed GuetarniAbstract:Safety is seen as a key factor for successful business and an inherent element of business performance. As a result, Industrial Safety performance has progressively and measurably improved in terms of reduction of reportable accidents at work, occupational diseases, environmental incidents and accident-related production losses. It is expected that an “incident elimination” and “learning from failures” culture will develop where Safety is embedded in design, maintenance, operation at all levels in enterprises. Today’s Safety analyses and proofs for certification purposes are still performed predominantly manual. However, the quantitative analysis, by its complex nature, introduced automation in the management of risk and Industrial Safety: statistics analysis, Bayesian methods and Bayesian networks. In this paper, a state of the art of computing in risk assessment and Industrial Safety will be presented: static, dynamic, centralized and distributed applications. Then, a proposal will be made to design a “Dynamic Safety system” which aims at detecting and evaluating risks, then establishing prevention actions.
