About
Safety Division of The Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan (SCEJ) is a not-for-profit organization that addresses safety needs of manufacturing process accompanying material and energy transformation within the chemical, pharmaceutical, and petroleum industries. Safety Division set a field where people from manufacturers, government organizations, academia, consulting and insurer share safety problems and ideas to improve process safety.
Vision
Japanese process industry is in the stage of promoting safety practice in a company by further developing the view of safety control system. Japanese process industry is going to undertake an enterprise increasingly all over the world by globalization. It is becoming impossible to meet the safety needs of Japanese industry discussing safety problems and safety control only within Japan. The needs for a safety control system exist not only in a petrochemical industry but in fine chemicals and the pharmaceutical industry, and are related also to quality control, and are gaining in importance. The participants from industry, academia, etc. must be increased and activities to lead safer process industry must further be activated.
Mission
Safety Division is committed to promote the best process safety knowledge and practices based on the ideas such as evidence based, risk based, PDCA cycle and plant life cycle management to protect lives, property and society whole by integrating wisdom, system, experience from manufacturers, government organizations and academia.
