Topic: The 3C-3P Model for a Resilient Industrial Safety System
Abstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic is by no means the last time industry will be subject to disruption. It is increasingly clear that we live in a world where there are going to be “shocks” time and time again. The fact that we live in an interconnected and interdependent world means these shocks can originate from anywhere in the world, can take multiple forms and disrupt activities that may be seemingly unconnected. “Resilience” is not a question of our ability to recover if there is a shock but rather whenever there is a shock.
AcuiZen Technologies has conceptualized the 3C-3P model that proposes a new definition of Safety that is relevant especially in the context of a disruptive operating environment and the move towards Industry 4.0. This has been included in a handbook on Industrial Safety that has been published by UNIDO in November 2021. The presentation will outline the approach and also provide a practical roadmap to move towards “Vision Zero”.
