Rising cyberattacks, increasing industrial incidents and human vulnerabilities are converging across critical infrastructure sectors. The need to integrate physical, cyber and human insights is emerging as a central theme in addressing these risks.
From Bhopal to Deepwater Horizon, history shows that catastrophic accidents are rarely unforeseen—they are often the consequence of organisations failing to act on warning signs, sustain a strong safety culture and learn from near misses.
As energy and petrochemical companies confront evolving workplace risks, occupational health is emerging as a strategic business priority rather than a compliance function. In an interview with ENERGDIVE, Dr R Rajesh, Group Head, Medical Services, Reliance Industries Ltd, discusses predictive health systems, workforce resilience, ESG integration and the future of occupational health in high-risk industries.
From hospital fires and high-rise risks to EV battery hazards and industrial expansion, policymakers, fire chiefs and corporate safety leaders at the Bharat Fire Safety Congress 2026 observed that India’s existing fire safety architecture needs to fill urgent gaps in enforcement, preparedness, technology adoption and public behaviour.
As the country’s oil and gas industry is increasingly becoming digital and inter-connected, their process safety management is noticeably transforming– from a traditional monitoring system to an intelligent and real-time decision-making framework. In an interview with ENERGDIVE, Badal Roy, Former Executive Director, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd, feels that Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and predictive analytics will redefine how the industry assess risks, manage emergencies and strengthen operational resilience.
As industries across the Asia-Pacific region accelerate investments in Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), hydrogen, refining and petrochemicals, process safety is emerging as a boardroom priority rather than just a compliance requirement. Ajay Gurao, General Manager at Dekra India, sat down with ENERGDIVE to discuss leadership blind spots, safety culture, digitalisation, and why AI-driven process safety systems could shape the sector by 2030.
PK Goswami, Deputy Director (ISH), Labour Department, Government of NCT of Delhi, discusses with ENERGDIVE the role of digitalisation, compliance and behavioural ownership in strengthening industrial safety and process risk management.
As the push for hydrogen advances in the country, its safety architecture remains in transition, as the element moves from industrial containment into a public-facing system.
India’s energy transition is not unfolding through a simple shift from old to new, but through the simultaneous management of energy security, industrial growth, decarbonisation, safety and strategic resilience.
Across India’s energy value chain, Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) is being integrated into operational systems through inspections, training, audits, and monitoring, making risk management integral to how these operations run at scale.
Rituraj Mehta, Group Head – Safety, Adani Enterprises Ltd, discusses with ENERGDIVE leadership-led safety culture, AI-driven risk management and resilient frameworks for ESG performance and operational reliability.
Safety is now a strategic imperative for high-risk industries. Dr SP Garg, Former Executive Director, GAIL (India) Ltd, shares insights with ENERGDIVE on safety culture, AI-led risk management and evolving energy-sector risks.
Fire safety is no longer a matter of compliance alone; it is emerging as a strategic function that shapes resilience, operational continuity and long-term risk management across organisations.
Consequence-based and risk-based assessment approaches, supported by explosion modelling methods such as Baker-Strehlow-Tang, TNO Multi-Energy and Computational Fluid Dynamics, are used to evaluate how vapor cloud explosions affect buildings in industrial facilities.
The 7th edition of International Process Safety Conference (INPSC) brought together regulators, industry leaders and safety professionals to examine how leadership accountability, Artificial Intelligence (AI), operational discipline and safety culture must converge to strengthen process safety across India’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape.
