“…The OSH costs are assessed by many other points of view, by investigating the relationship between accidents at work and climatic condition [33] and the benefits of implementing an OSH management system [34,35]. Furthermore, many studies relating the assessment of non-OSH costs on the communities have been carried out [36][37][38].…”

“…To ensure safety, internal and external protocols may be implemented. The inherent safety of a process is related to its intrinsic qualities, such as the use of safer chemical ingredients and secure procedures, 4,5 Rather than monitoring and reducing threats through the use of built‐in shielding systems, which is the concept of external safety, the heart of inherent safety is to prevent and remove them. The inherent safety of the process has been assessed early and regularly, 6 which is a crucial effort in the process design.…”

“…Professor Trevor Kletz proposed the inherently safer design (ISD) principle after the Flixborough tragedy in 1978. The theory states that eliminating intrinsic hazardous properties, rather than adding external mechanisms to regulate hazards, is the best method to reduce risk 4 . The first “design” for a chemical process is made during the design and development stage, when the multiple process parameters to get the desired product(s) are determined.…”

Over the last decade, one of the most significant areas under focus in process safety management was developing an inherently safer design. The main objective of having an inherently safer design is to avoid hazards and risks from developing in the first place, rather than to reduce them after they have already occurred. A number of strategies, including index‐based and other types, are used in today's process industries. This paper provides a brief overview of the current inherent design methods used in the process industries. This study also details how new technologies such as fuzzy logic and machine learning are used in the improvement of inherently safer designs. Traditional safety evaluation methods have flaws such as poor accuracy, large human element influence, which can affect the degree of safety. Inherently safer design prediction was modeled using various machine learning techniques like random forest, support vector machine (SVM), and K‐neighborhood algorithm. Accuracy obtained for the sample prediction of upper flammability limit while using random forest algorithm was found to be more efficient while comparing with K‐neighborhood and support vector machine algorithms. Accuracy obtained was in the range of 90%–95% for each epoch. The accuracy of the model will always be dependent on the type of parameters that we select for prediction. By considering more safety parameters and efficient machine learning algorithms for training models, we can develop systems with high accuracy predictions for inherently safer process plants.

“…Understanding the hazard awareness level of tanker driver is vital to ensure that they are equipped with the proper knowledge and understanding regarding the risk of their occupation (Bendickson et al., 2018; Niaz et al., 2015). Studies showed that level of awareness of tanker driver had a significant correlation with the employee's reaction to hazard while working (Rogério dos Santos Alves and Alex Soares de Souza, 2014; Zainal Abidin et al., 2018). Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations enforced the employer to provide training to prepare the tanker driver with sufficient input regarding their working hazard (Rogério dos Santos Alves and Alex Soares de Souza, 2014).…”

Understanding the tanker driver hazard awareness on chemical exposure is important to ensure that they are fortified with the appropriate information regarding the risk of their occupation. This present study was conducted to determine the awareness of the petrol tanker driver on the chemical exposure during transportation petroleum product. The assessment on hazardous awareness of the petrol tank driver was conducted through questionnaire survey. Wherein, the questionnaire was designed with considering the variables of age of the driver, working experience, working hours in a day and knowledge on chemical hazard presence in the petroleum oil. A reliability test of Cronbach's Alpha was performed to validate the questionnaire and the Chi-Square test was conducted to determine the correlation among the studied variables. The findings of the present study revealed that the drivers who are frequently come into direct contact with petrol cannot identify the spillage had occurred during working. The study identified that there is an urgency to conduct training on safe handling of petroleum oil in order to eliminate the risk of chemical hazards exposure to the tanker driver.
