The Chemical Engineer
The ten issues of The Chemical Engineer magazine published during the year included a new series on Ethics and The Chemical Engineer. Launched in partnership with volunteers, the series urged the community to ’think ethics before taking action’.
Loss Prevention Bulletin
Readers of the Loss Prevention Bulletin (LPB) were invited to contribute their predictions for accidents of the future, ie accidents that are typically repeated because lessons are not learnt, or accidents that could arise from new technology. This resulted in a special issue of the bulletin which was shared with Hazards 32 delegates and is also free to download from the website.
