"Nothing unites the specialty & batch chemical sector more than its safety-first mindset. This is what binds us together and pushes our member companies forward with their employees, community stakeholders and customers," said Jennifer Abril, President & CEO at SOCMA.

SOCMA's Safety Recognition program aims to drive information-sharing across the industry and expand SOCMA's catalog of safety resources.

"With support of SOCMA's Manufacturing & Operations Committee, we're proud to shepherd the next phase of SOCMA's Safety Emphasis focus," Joe Dettinger, Senior Director, Technical & Safety added. "The refreshed application allows companies to detail their safety programs in a streamlined and efficient way."
