Mandate and publisher in four parts.
Research on how production systems change and fail.
The platform covers industrial innovation, automation, robotics and process resilience in changing production systems. It brings engineering, safety science, materials science and labour research together.
Scope
Industry and robotics, with links to work and skills and to trade, resources and supply chains.
Who takes part
Industrial engineers, manufacturing researchers, automation specialists and safety scientists.
What it publishes
Industrial transition briefs, safe automation guides and resilience case studies.
Process safety and the workforce at the core.
Process safety and the industrial workforce are essential parts of the platform rather than separate subsidiaries. Focused work is carried in two chapters, Industrial and Chemical Safety and Circular Economy and Pollution, which share the platform’s editorial standards and publisher.
GCRI publishes the platform and answers for its content and corrections. Editorial coverage of each topic requires named subject review, references and relevant independent specialist voices. Research with companies is designed to be precompetitive and to protect confidential information.
What the platform does not do.
- It does not regulate, certify, license or approve any plant, machine, product or institution.
- It does not prepare or review safety cases for individual sites, or replace a competent engineer’s assessment.
- It does not endorse vendors or technologies, and taking part gives no authority or influence over findings.
- Safety, permitting and investment decisions remain with operators and competent authorities; see trust, rights and status.
