In an industrial plant for producing or processing liquid, red-hot or hot metal a safety-relevant area is formed in the direct vicinity of the liquid or red-hot metal and the presence of a person is at least periodically not allowed. A detector unit is provided for the surveillance of the area, detecting electromagnetic radiation emitted by a present person or identifying the absence of electromagnetic radiation blocked by a present person. Furthermore, an evaluation unit is able to detect the presence of a person from the output data of the detector unit, and for a control unit which is connected to the evaluation unit. If a person is present in the safety-relevant area, the control unit automatically initiates an action acting against the presence of the person. By forming a plurality of safety-relevant areas having different danger levels, gentle stopping of the industrial plant is made possible.
