This field encompasses the development and implementation of robust engineering design principles, operational procedures, management systems, and organizational culture to ensure the integrity and reliability of process facilities. Its significance lies in minimizing the risk of major accidents, thereby safeguarding human life, environmental health, and economic stability.
