Executive Summary
This report forms one in a series covering technologies which enhance operational risk management for industrial assets. Safety executives, reliability engineers and plant managers all face the same operational risks but apply different approaches to mitigating those risks. All these different stakeholders can benefit from the use of new technologies that control risks in real-time. Technology innovations such as sensors, wearables, digital twin simulations of industrial facilities, barrier risk management software and mobile apps provide real-time information about what could go wrong, what is about to go wrong or what has gone wrong, enabling executives at industrial facilities to proactively manage and mitigate risks.Many Industrial Accidents Could Be Avoided With Real-Time Risk Information
