該期刊的廣泛范圍是過程安全。過程安全是指預(yù)防和緩解涉及火災(zāi)、爆炸和有毒物質(zhì)釋放的過程事故引起的過程相關(guān)傷害和損害。在使用、儲存、制造、處理和運輸高危險化學(xué)品的過程中，工藝行業(yè)會發(fā)生此類不希望發(fā)生的事件。關(guān)注和重視該期刊的重點是過程工業(yè)中的損失預(yù)防，重點是化工和過程設(shè)備的安全。這一重點將在大量參考工藝安全文獻(xiàn)的手稿中容易識別。無論原稿的性質(zhì)或來源如何，都必須有一個明確的定義和明確的解釋，即原稿對工藝安全領(lǐng)域的研究貢獻(xiàn)。話題期刊可審議的主題包括：過程安全管理過程安全文化過程安全風(fēng)險評估事故調(diào)查保護(hù)系統(tǒng)的設(shè)計和可靠性工廠布局、維護(hù)和修改過程報警管理應(yīng)急計劃危險品運輸海上油氣安全工藝火災(zāi)瓦斯爆炸粉塵爆炸有毒物質(zhì)的擴散失控反應(yīng)本質(zhì)上更安全的設(shè)計人為錯誤/人為因素過程安全過程安全管理過程安全風(fēng)險評估工藝安全決策與經(jīng)濟問題過程安全教育培訓(xùn)以上列表中未確定的其他工藝安全主題除外條款期刊不考慮的主題包括：職業(yè)健康安全建筑和航空等非工藝工業(yè)部門的安全環(huán)境問題，這些問題是研究的唯一或主要焦點以下領(lǐng)域的研究，沒有明確考慮研究的過程安全影響：煤礦安全基本燃燒研究基礎(chǔ)腐蝕研究一般系統(tǒng)可靠性維護(hù)計劃優(yōu)化材料特性過程控制和監(jiān)控上述清單中未確定的其他非工藝安全主題該雜志堅持嚴(yán)格的同行評審政策。編輯提交的任何資料，經(jīng)同行評審后，不得處理、查閱或可見。因此，出版決定將以完全公正的方式作出。

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.
