Abstract: The food manufacturing industry faces increasingly complex technical hazards that threaten operational safety, product quality, and regulatory compliance. This study examines how engineering leaders implement Process Safety Management (PSM), Asset Integrity Management (AIM), and Project Controls to mitigate technical risks in food manufacturing environments. Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis of industry practices, this research identifies critical success factors in risk reduction strategies. The findings reveal that integrated approaches combining PSM frameworks, proactive asset integrity programs, and robust project controls significantly reduce incident rates and enhance operational reliability. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on food safety engineering by demonstrating the synergistic effects of these three pillars in creating resilient manufacturing systems. The research highlights the importance of leadership commitment, workforce competency, and technological integration in achieving sustainable risk reduction outcomes.
