Book Description

The present proceedings reflect, in many ways, both the status of and increased research in loss prevention. Consequently, loss prevention is becoming more science-based and professional. The scientific results are also being systematically integrated in industrial practice, both with respect to the technical aspects (e.g. design) and management. Regulation, together with the responsible care approach now followed by industry, provide additional stimuli for the further development of loss prevention. The many developments, however, make it more difficult to stay abreast of progress in the whole field. These proceedings will be of use in this respect to both researchers and practitioners in industry.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The books are well presented and the papers easy to read and anyone working in the process industry will undoubtedly find more than one paper for direct interest. There is no doubt that these proceedings will be found invaluable by both researcher and practitioners in the process industries. -- Environmental Engineering

These two volumes represent a very rich source of current research in chemical process plant hazards: their causes, prevention and mitigation. Libraries and consultancies with any pretence to be up to date on process safety should certainly get them. -- Chemical Engineering Journal
