A resilience index for process safety analysis

Resilience assessment and management: A review on contributions on process safety and environmental protection

“…All in all, resilience refers to a theoretical tool focusing on the transformation probability of a system from incidents to accidents. In the field of process safety and environmental protection, considering the nature of stochastic and time-variable, (Castillo-Borja et al, 2017) reckoned that the factors, e.g., avoiding failure, pro-active, losses and response after failure, should be taken into account while discussing the definition of resilience. In this study, resilience is expected to be described as the capacity of a process/environment system to prevent the negative impact while suffering from the external disruption and to recover comprehensively considering the response time, operation costs and possibility.…”

Analyzing Resilience in Chemical Industry: A Cross-Sectional in a Process Industry

“…Some studies show that safety resilience in the process industry is a function of factors that prevent various threats and then, by taking the limitations of preventive systems, develop and present a limiting plan to minimize the damages severity in the shortest time possible. Consequently, it is important to pay attention to parameters such as preparedness for reducing accident damages and swiftness for improving system operations [14,15]. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a semi-quantitative method for analyzing safety resilience in the chemical industry and conduct a relevant field study to analyze safety resilience in this industry.…”

Computing resilience of process plants under Na-Tech events: Methodology and application to sesmic loading scenarios

“…Resilience research applied to industrial plants, instead, has been comparatively scarce even if such facilities are quite complex in itself, represent high capital investments and relevant cash flow streams for either the owner and other stakeholder, and a failure can have long duration effect which can propagate along the supply chains. In this sector, research has been mainly oriented towards the organizational and operational issues including human factors [61][62][63][64] and more recently to applications in safety analysis and risk assessment of process plants [65][66][67][68][69]. Ryzdak and coworkers [70,71] also attempted to model resilience using the system dynamics paradigm.…”
