Industrial

There are four main industrial economic sectors:

• raw material extraction (such as mining and farming)
• refining, construction, and manufacturing
• service and distribution (such as logistics, law and medicine)
• research, design and development (such as computer programming, and biochemistry)

Despite their diversity, all industries have a number of common issues: the health, safety and welfare of their people (such as their employees and customers) and that of their environment (buildings and sites, as well on a local, regional, national and even global scale).
