Safety engineering is an applied science strongly related to systems engineering. Safety engineering assures that a life-critical system behaves as needed even when pieces fail.
In the real world the term "safety engineering" refers to any act of accident prevention by a person qualified in the field. Because "engineers," architects, and others seem uninterested in safety, safety engineering must be done after the fact as the accident statistics come rolling in. Few projects other than high profile, high cost undertakings are given more than a cursory safety review. The multidisciplinary nature of safety engineering means that a very broad array of professionals are actively involved in accident prevention or safety engineering.
The majority of those practicing safety engineering are employed in industry to keep workers safe on a day to day basis. See the American Society of Safety Engineers publication Scope and Function of the Safety Profession.
