As we look towards the future and consider the twin challenges of emerging technologies and ageing facilities, it reminds us how important risk-informed decision making remains. Two of this month’s articles illustrate how new thinking can help, with examples relating to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) liability insurance and dam safety.

This is very much a period of transition, particularly in the energy industry, given the challenge of meeting sustainability objectives while remaining competitive. The articles in this issue provide an illustration of how many of the existing techniques and approaches used for managing risk can be adapted to help meet these and other challenges in cost-effective and insightful ways.

The Ukraine is rightly dominating the news – our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine at this very difficult time. In this edition we outline how to manage single point vulnerabilities, take a holistic approach to the cyber-security of operational technology, analyse uncertainties in containment risk assessment, present a barrier health dashboard and introduce governance, risk and compliance.

This a special edition for us, celebrating our 20th anniversary. We reflect on changes in the working day and advances in risk and safety management over the past 20 years, and speculate on changes over the next 20 years. We outline what’s new in learning, what’s the same and what we can expect, and highlight the ever growing ubiquity and importance of safety culture.
