Chemical Safety Research Group

National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, Japan

The aim of the work in the Chemical Safety Research Group is to prevent industrial accidents by decreasing the risk of explosions and fires during chemical process. We also publish an accessible database of explosion accident histories in industries which are useful references for evaluating explosion risks in chemical process. The contents of the database are renewed in order.
