Do we need to re-define process safety?

The COVID-19 crisis has clearly shown how vulnerable humankind is to new, infectious micro-organisms and is prompting serious reflection on how we can best prepare for and respond to this type of threat.

Process safety, originally developed to address and mitigate risks related to hazardous materials and energy sources in an industrial context, can prove useful against biological agents as well, especially as biomanufacturing expands its applications beyond its traditional niche.

Faced with new challenges, the process safety framework is sufficiently robust to accommodate the necessary modifications and confront emerging risks.
