Abstract
Hydrogen energy is a promising source to meet the global energy demand. The adoption of hydrogen energy by society is possible with the installation and operation of reliable hydrogen infrastructures. Hydrogen has some risk factors inherently. The wide flammability range in air, high flame speed, and low minimum ignition energy cause fire and explosion accidents. In addition, hydrogen embrittlement in metals leads to ruptures in equipment and the formation of leakages. Hydrogen refueling stations, commercial hydrogen facilities, nuclear power plants, and laboratories are places that are open to accidents caused by hydrogen equipment failure or wrong human interventions. Determination of standards for safe operation and making quantitative risk analysis assessments help eliminate accidents or mitigate their damaging consequences. This chapter aims to raise awareness about the safety of hydrogen energy by addressing the risks of hydrogen, past accidents, the lessons learned, and the applicable precautions and recommendations against hazards.

Human Factors Affecting Railway Safety: Approach for Considering Human Errors in Investigations
The European standard CENELEC 50129 defines safety as “the absence of any unacceptable level of risk”. The probability of occurrence of a potential accident as well as the severity of the damage caused by this potential accident are the two components that identify the notion of risk. Therefore, to define the level of probability of a potential accident, the CENELEC 50126 standard proposes a set of categories, each of which is associated with a frequency range. Given the difficulty of estimating these frequencies, this quantitative / qualitative association is favorable. Likewise, the CENELEC 50126 standard defines the level of severity by associating the quantifications with the consequences generated by the potential accident. Indeed, the level of risk acceptability is identified and assessed using the “Occurrence / Severity” Matrix.
