This article is the first in a series of articles on change management in software projects. We will draw on our experience implementing control of work and safety management systems in industry.

Identifying and controlling safety risks is critical when working in a mine or factory. This article explores safety risk management in industry. Ultimately safety is non-negotiable. Sound safety risk assessment systems are indispensable tools to ensure people work safely and achieve more.

A digital twin is particularly helpful in complex environments where it is essential to view work interactions during job planning. As a production manager or maintenance planner, it is possible to gain additional safety insights that allow you to foresee problems better, plan more effectively, execute more efficiently and optimise the outcomes of work teams.

The correct terminology is important when it comes to workplace safety. For example, it is easy to refer to “hazards” when you really mean “risk”. And the other way round. Hazards need to be identified, and risks need to be mitigated. So, what is the difference exactly?

Enterprise risk is often grouped into categories such as operational, financial, environmental and reputational risks. But there are many overlaps and dependencies between these categories.
