Safety Concerns on Hydrogen Refueling Stations: A Sociotechnical Panoramic View from Literature and Practice
摘要
This chapter provides an overview of relevant studies published in scientific journals that address the safety of hydrogen refueling stations as well as an analysis of the operating experience. These studies, presenting multiple perspectives, levels, and approaches, point out the necessity of covering the entire sociotechnical spectrum to ensure the safe operation of these facilities, which are crucial for the deployment of hydrogen vehicles. Importantly, the sociotechnical approach understands safety as a factor resulting from the interaction of technical systems (such as equipment, systems, and processes), human factors (including operators, organizational design, and safety culture), and social factors (such as regulatory and legal considerations).
