Inherent safety is a design principle for chemical processes that aims to reduce risk of danger even if things go wrong by minimizing hazardous materials and operations, unlike protective systems that control high hazard levels. An inherently safer design avoids hazards instead of just controlling them, particularly by reducing hazardous materials and the number of hazardous operations in a plant.

Not to be confused with intrinsic safety, a particular technology for electrical systems operating in

potentially flammable atmospheres.

In the chemical and process industries, a process has inherent safety if it has a low level of danger


even if things go wrong. Inherent safety contrasts with other processes where a high degree of hazard
is controlled by protective systems. As perfect safety cannot be achieved, common practice is to talk
about inherently safer design. “An inherently safer design is one that avoids hazards instead of
controlling them, particularly by reducing the amount of hazardous material and the number of
hazardous operations in the plant.”[1]
