Industrial sites concentrate high-energy processes, hazardous substances, and complex building layouts that can amplify fire, explosion, and toxic-smoke events. Fire and rescue units (ISU) often arrive with incomplete or outdated information about the facility, which increases response time and exposes crews to avoidable hazards. This paper proposes a simple, patent-oriented framework for optimizing ISU interventions in industrial zones by combining four building blocks: operational response data, computational fl...

Risk management in the transport of dangerous goods is essential for protecting human health, the environment, and infrastructure. This chapter section explores systematic risk assessment methodologies in the context of hazardous materials transport. Key techniques such as Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Hazard and Operability Analysis, and Bow-Tie analysis are used to identify, assess, and prioritize risks associated with the transport process. These approaches enable the systematic breakdown of potential fai...
