JOURNAL OF LOSS PREVENTION IN THE PROCESS INDUSTRIES

The broad scope of the journal is process safety. Process safety is defined as the prevention and mitigation of process-related injuries and damage arising from process incidents involving fire, explosion and toxic release. Such undesired events occur in the process industries during the use, storage, manufacture, handling, and transportation of highly hazardous chemicals.Focus and EmphasisThe focus of the journal is on loss prevention as practiced in the process industries with an emphasis on chemical and process plant safety. This emphasis will be readily identified in manuscripts that make extensive reference to the process safety literature. Regardless of the nature or origin of the manuscript, there must be a clearly defined and explicitly explained original research contribution to the field of process safety.TopicsTopics eligible for consideration by the journal include:Process safety managementProcess safety cultureProcess safety risk assessmentIncident investigationDesign and reliability of protective systemsPlant layout, maintenance and modificationProcess alarm managementEmergency planningTransportation of hazardous materialsOffshore oil and gas safetyProcess firesGas explosionsDust explosionsDispersion of toxic materialsRunaway reactionsInherently safer designHuman error/human factorsProcess securityProcess security managementProcess security risk assessmentProcess safety decision-making and economic issuesProcess safety education and trainingOther process safety topics not identified in the above listExclusionsTopics excluded from consideration by the journal include:Occupational health and safetySafety in non-process industry sectors such as construction and aviationEnvironmental concerns where such issues are the only or primary focus of the researchStudies in the following areas, and in which there is no explicit consideration of the process safety implications of the research:Coal mine safetyFundamental combustion studiesFundamental corrosion studiesGeneral system reliabilityMaintenance schedule optimizationMaterial characterizationProcess control and monitoringOther non-process safety topics not identified in the above listThe journal upholds a stringent peer review policy. No submission made by the editors shall be handled, viewed, or visible by them upon peer review. Decision to publish will therefore be made on an entirely impartial.

该期刊的广泛范围是过程安全。过程安全是指预防和缓解涉及火灾、爆炸和有毒物质释放的过程事故引起的过程相关伤害和损害。在使用、储存、制造、处理和运输高危险化学品的过程中，工艺行业会发生此类不希望发生的事件。关注和重视该期刊的重点是过程工业中的损失预防，重点是化工和过程设备的安全。这一重点将在大量参考工艺安全文献的手稿中容易识别。无论原稿的性质或来源如何，都必须有一个明确的定义和明确的解释，即原稿对工艺安全领域的研究贡献。话题期刊可审议的主题包括：过程安全管理过程安全文化过程安全风险评估事故调查保护系统的设计和可靠性工厂布局、维护和修改过程报警管理应急计划危险品运输海上油气安全工艺火灾瓦斯爆炸粉尘爆炸有毒物质的扩散失控反应本质上更安全的设计人为错误/人为因素过程安全过程安全管理过程安全风险评估工艺安全决策与经济问题过程安全教育培训以上列表中未确定的其他工艺安全主题除外条款期刊不考虑的主题包括：职业健康安全建筑和航空等非工艺工业部门的安全环境问题，这些问题是研究的唯一或主要焦点以下领域的研究，没有明确考虑研究的过程安全影响：煤矿安全基本燃烧研究基础腐蚀研究一般系统可靠性维护计划优化材料特性过程控制和监控上述清单中未确定的其他非工艺安全主题该杂志坚持严格的同行评审政策。编辑提交的任何资料，经同行评审后，不得处理、查阅或可见。因此，出版决定将以完全公正的方式作出。
