Industrial safety
performance progressively and measurably improved in terms of reduction of
re-portable accidents at work, occupational diseases, environmental incidents
and accident-related production losses. “Incident elimination” and “learning
from failures” cultures embedded in design, maintenance and operation at all
levels in enterprises. Structured self-regulated safety programs in all major
industry sectors in all European countries. Measurable performance targets for
accident elimination and accident free mind set workplaces as the norm in
Europe.
The initiative “Safe Future - Safe innovation for a competitive and
sustainable future” is organized around 4
pillars that will bring innovative and sustainable solutions to the European
Grand Challenges the 4 pillars:
- Safe
Infrastructure, to address e.g.: life extension of process
plants, transport infrastructures, power plants, off-shore platforms…;
intensification of natural catastrophes due to climate change; design and
monitoring for long term operation for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS);
monitoring, protection and security of critical infrastructures…
- Safe
Energy, to address e.g.: safety of the use of new energy carriers
for vehicles (FEV, fuel cells, CNG, bio fuels…); safety for the green
energy technologies (wind mills, photo voltaic panels, concentrating solar
power (CSP)…); making the underground transport infrastructure compatible
with the new energy carriers; combining pan European transport
infrastructures and smart high power electricity grids…
- Safe
Products and Production, to address e.g.: development of the
European Factory of the Future, by managing emerging risks through new
integrated solutions (safety systems, advanced personal protective equipment new organizational models, ergonomics, etc.); enabling higher
productivity under better workplaces; safety for the green jobs; safe
production and use of nonmaterial’s…
- Traversal issues, to solve existing challenges for sustainable integration,
interaction and risk governance such as: difficulties in putting together
different risk mitigation policies and ensuring their compatibility
(Risk-Risk trade-offs), Multi-risk and inter-dependencies of risks in a
global competitive market…
