TABLE OF CONTENTS Over the last three decades there has developed in the process industries a distinctive approach to hazards and failures that cause loss of life and property. This approach is commonly called loss prevention. It involves putting much greater emphasis on technological measures to control hazards and on trying to get things right the first time. An understanding of loss prevention requires some appreciation of its historical development against a background of heightened public awareness of safety, and environmental problems, of its relation to traditional safety and also to a number of other developments. Selected references on safety and loss prevention (SLP) are given in Table 1.1.
