“…10 An assessment of PSM implementation for Malaysian case has been recently presented, which discusses what has been achieved or missing. 11 These authors suggested that future research regarding PSM implementation should focus on individual organizations. They propose PSM improvement recommendations for each element of PSM.…”

A general guide how to implement process safety management (PSM) is missing in the literature. This article provides general procedure to implement PSM which any industry in underdeveloped, developing and developed countries can adopt to start PSM implementation. PSM implementation can be initiated through the proposed framework consisting of four steps: (1) PSM introduction, (2) Assigning departmental wise PSM duties, (3) Trainings and (4) Audits and improvements. Trainings include process hazard analysis (PHA) using Integrated What‐If/HAZOP analysis, quantitative risk assessments using ALOHA or equivalent software, PSM forms developments and other trainings. In a case study, ammonia release is estimated and quantified using ALOHA. Nine various forms for PSM are required to be developed for industry implementing PSM. Various trainings should be arranged including specific learning outcomes and few examples are discussed in this article. An audit scheme is proposed for any new industry implementing PSM. PSM elements implementation sequence is discussed. New established industries can adopt this procedure to implement PSM following suggested forms and sequences, which can help engineers in understanding PSM implementation. This PSM implementation proposed framework is being implemented in the fertilizer industry and caustic industry.

“…The overpressure caused by gas explosion in roadways applied on the surfaces of rock masses can be a threat to the roadway stability . The rock masses may be damaged if the overpressure is too large, which can result in serious casualties and property losses. ,, With the increasing mining depth of coal mines, the damage characteristics of surrounding rock masses caused by pressure waves generated by gas explosion have become a research hotspot in the industry . Under the coupling effects of pressure wave generated by gas explosion, rock masses are more prone to structural damage such as fracture. , I. Edrl et al discussed the effects of partially restricted waves of gas explosion on rock masses.…”

Methane explosion is an undesired incident in the coal mining industry. Its high pressure wave can cause damage to the rock mass. This study numerically investigated the flame and wave transport characteristics of methane explosion with ignition sources at three different locations, and the corresponding dynamic response of the rock masses was discussed. The results showed that the flame propagation time is shortest when the ignition position is located at the center of the H-type roadway structure and the maximum overpressure decreases as the ignition position deviates from the center of the H-type roadway structure. When the ignition point is located at the center of the H-type roadway structure, the smallest total deformation of rock mass shows up with the highest maximum overpressure. In contrast, the largest total deformation appears when the ignition point is most away from the center due to the asymmetric distribution of the gas pressure exerted on both sidewalls of the rock masses. This work may provide insights into the understanding of deflagration propagation and the dynamic evolution of stresses under complex conditions.

“…On the other hand, process safety focuses on managing hazardous operating systems and processes 1 . The industries in Malaysia have been proactively adopting Process Safety Management (PSM) to improve their safety management systems 2 . Over the years, PSM has developed and become more effective, but incidents still happen 3,4 .…”

The new Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0) trend is driven by the concept of automation and artificial intelligence (AI). However, Malaysia is slightly behind Singapore in terms of adopting AI innovation among ASEAN countries. This paper aims to conduct a literature review of machine learning to overcome subjectivity and bias in risk ranking decision‐making. An introduction to machine learning concerning accident risk analysis is presented, and the challenges of its application in Malaysia are discussed. Existing machine learning features were evaluated to identify the feasible application in industrial accident analysis and ensure safety decision‐making consistency. This review observed how the IR 4.0 approaches were used in the risk analysis, especially on supervised machine learning. This study also highlights the finding from the previous works on challenges in utilizing supervised machine learning, which is the need to have publicly accessible large database from industries and agencies such as the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) Malaysia for the development of algorithms, which can potentially improve accident risk analysis and safety, especially for Malaysian industries.
