In this work, we attempt to investigate the status of safety knowledge development from education and practice perspective. A thorough literature review and analysis is conducted related to safety knowledge development and safety education in chemical engineering curriculum. Efforts are also made to better understand demographics and temporal evaluation of safety education in specific engineering discipline. In addition, an extensive perspective is provided on how safety education would address the challenge of process system digitalization, an element of Industry 4.0, with respect to the potential teaching contents and forms of delivery under the circumstances of digital transformation. The perspective is termed as Safety Education 4.0. Such perspective would build on the existing curriculum to bridge the gap for students to better adjust the technology advances in engineering practices.
