Occupational accident investigations reveal that the majority of incidents are caused by “human factors.” Unsafe acts attributed to human error account for over 80% of these cases. Effective prevention strategies rely on the promotion of “occupational safety and health education and training” to establish safe working practices and correct health concepts, thereby avoiding the losses caused by occupational accidents.
To establish a university-wide risk management system for research facilities, and to facilitate the guidance and management of occupational safety and health for on-campus research spaces and personnel, we kindly request that all faculty members take the time to complete the Research Facility Operation Management System.
In accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Management Regulations, research spaces at our university are classified into the following categories:
Category 1 – High Risk: (Our university currently has no spaces in this category.)
Category 2 – Medium Risk: (e.g., Laboratories within the Colleges of Science, Engineering, Agriculture and Natural Resources, Life Sciences, and Veterinary Medicine.)
Category 3 – Low Risk: (e.g., Research rooms or offices within the Colleges of Liberal Arts, Law and Politics, and Management.)
To ensure that the research spaces and workers (faculty, employees, or students) under the supervision of each facility manager (professor) comply with the relevant provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and to facilitate internal university management, please assist in updating the Research Facility Operation Management System. The update should include the following six major categories of information:
Basic information of the research facility
Identification of special health hazard operations
Relevant personnel information
Information on personnel with technical certifications/licenses
Internal education and training records
Chemical substances information
