安全科學是研究人類和工業安全的科學和技術的國際媒介。它從工作人員的安全延伸到其他領域，例如運輸、能源或基礎設施，以及人類危險活動的所有其他領域。安全科學是多學科的。它的貢獻者和受眾從社會科學家到工程師都有。該雜志涵蓋物理學和安全工程;其社會、政策和組織方面;風險的評估、管理和溝通;安全控制和管理技術的有效性;標準化、立法、檢驗、保險、成本計算、人類行為和安全等等。特別歡迎討論技術、人員和組織之間的接口的論文。安全科學將使公司、政府機構和國際機構的學術研究人員、工程師和決策者能夠就該領域的最新趨勢，從決策者和管理科學家到工程師，提高他們的信息水平。該雜志主要集中在其整個范圍內的原始研究論文，但也歡迎最先進的審查論文和對特殊意義的事故和災難的第一手案例歷史和熱門話題的討論論文

Safety Science serves as an international medium for research in the science and technology of human and industrial safety. It extends from safety of people at work to other spheres, such as transport, energy or infrastructures, as well as every other field of man's hazardous activities.Safety Science is multidisciplinary. Its contributors and its audience range from social scientists to engineers. The journal covers the physics and engineering of safety; its social, policy and organizational aspects; the assessment, management and communication of risks; the effectiveness of control and management techniques for safety; standardization, legislation, inspection, insurance, costing aspects, human behavior and safety and the like.Papers addressing the interfaces between technology, people and organizations are especially welcome.Safety Science will enable academic researchers, engineers and decision-makers in companies, government agencies and international bodies, to augment their information level on the latest trends in the field, from policy-makers and management scientists to engineers.The journal focuses primarily on original research papers across its whole scope, but also welcomes state-of-the-art review papers and first-hand case histories on accidents and disasters of special significance and discussion papers on hot topics.
