This paper guides how an effective system can be established to develop methods and models for mandatory safety and a healthful workplace. The success of health and safety management depends on the discipline, commitment, and participation of all employees to ensure the success of management strategies and ensure the reduction of significant risks. The sustainability challenges are increasingly by evaluating risk and process safety due to the differences in the knowledge and experiences. Failure Mode and Effective Analysis (FMEA) combined with risk management principles provide an overall assessment to express the deviation that might occur in the process before failure and distinguish the importance of risk factors. This article intended to provide a method for integrating an organization's safety and health regardless of its size and work contributed to regulations and requirements. The benefits to implementing this model in the company will show returns in the investment. The main challenges include identification and discussion of the potential risks, in addition, to the collaborative of researchers between environmental protection and process system leading to the reliability and better understanding of the existing safety concepts.

Introduction The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) created the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) in 1985 after the chemical disaster in Mexico and India to prevent major chemical accidents. CCPS provides a series of guidelines and essential practices for implanting process safety and risk management system to ensure the effectiveness of process safety management (PSM) (Abu Baker et al., 2017). Nevertheless, many organizations are still challenged within a complex of operational processing plants and management systems. This could certainly create new risks and hazards. Weaknesses, including lack of awareness about severe chemical hazards and poor preparation of any hazards, result in victims (Fatemi et al., 2019). According to International Standardization and Organization ISO 45001, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employees to comply with safety, health standards, and regulations. The management system aims to prevent work-related incidents/injuries and provide a safe and healthy workplace. The literature reviewed that European and US safety concepts are considered more advanced and comprehensive than those found in the Taiwanese construction industry (Chen et al., 2020). Continuously, the organization management should eliminate any hazards besides improvement of safety performance (Guntzburger et al., 2017; Grossel, 2007). According to regulations and requirements, organizations and industries seek a new way to improve safety and health management in the work area. The main aim is to reduce risk and economic failure based on risk analysis and judgment on existing resources and processes. This could become more effective once consultation and expert analysis of the risks of the entire process life-cycle from the safety point of view for restructuring a new practical, safe system. Several accidents have occurred over the past decades with significant impact results directly or indirectly in the environment and human health. Different accidents reflect the efficiency and effectiveness of process safety and risk management system to prevents and reduce the severity and occurrence of these industrial accidents. It is expected to learn from these accidents and another industrial failure, reducing the potential catastrophic accidents in the future. Some notable accidents in history have been addressed in order to learn and improve the existing process safety management system or reduce the impact of the undesirable hazards: * Corresponding author: E-mail: matouq3@yahoo.com ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2497-2117 Received on May 7, 2021; Accepted on July 30--, 2021.
