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
According to Article 17 of the Labor Health Protection Rules, employers shall conduct regular general health examinations for employed workers in accordance with the following regulations:For workers aged 65 and over: Once a yearFor workers aged 40 to under 65: Once every three years.For workers under 40 years of age: Once every five years.Regular general health examinations are implemented based on these age requirements. For example: If a staff member is currently 30 years old and completed their new employee health examination in 2016, they will participate in our school’s general health examination for employed workers in 2021.
Faculty members and postdoctoral researchers may take the “Information Security General Knowledge Online Test” between the 25th and the 30th each month. Passing the test will be recognized as three hours of general information security education credits.
All related exam information has been compiled on the Information Security Awareness Promotion website.
!!! Please ensure all personal information is entered correctly to safeguard your examination rights !!!
Pursuant to Appendix 5 of the Regulations on Grading Levels of Information Security Responsibility, all general users and supervisors are required to complete at least three hours of general information security education and training each year.

To help new international faculty adapt to working at NCHU, OIAS offers a subsidy program for hiring administrative assistants.
NCHU signed contracts with designated medical institutions, including hospitals and clinics, to offer discounts on consultation registration fees and certain out-of-pocket medical expenses for our faculty and students.
※ Discounts will only be applied if the official student or faculty identification document is presented during the consultation.
※ All contracted hospitals and clinics are bilingual-friendly.
An investigation into occupational accidents reveals that the majority (>80%) of accidents are caused by human error or unsafe behavior.
The most effective way to prevent such accidents is through labor safety and health training. This training helps promote safe working methods and correct hygiene practices, thereby preventing losses or injuries caused by occupational accidents.
The investigations into occupational accidents found that ‘man-caused factors’ are the major reasons behind these incidents. Approximately 80% of unsafe actions originate from human activities.
The prevention and control measures rely on the promotion of “labor occupational health and safety education and training.” This education and training help establish safe working methods and correct hygiene concepts for employees, effectively preventing losses and damages caused by occupational accidents.
Implemented in accordance with Articles 30 and 31 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
Employers are required to implement hazard assessment, control, and graded management measures for work that may pose a risk to maternal health. Violations of these regulations are subject to a fine ranging from NT$30,000 to NT$300,000.
To comply with legal requirements regarding the maternal health protection of female workers, we are introducing exclusive pink “Maternity Parking Spaces” alongside car and motorcycle parking discounts specifically for pregnant staff members.

To aid in the enforcement of the school-wide laboratory risk management system for better supervision and management of the occupational safety and health of personnel at on-campus research venues, faculty members are required to provide the following information through the Research Venue Operations Management System.
The University’s research venues are divided into the following three levels pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Management Act:
1. Level 1: High-risk venues (The University currently has no Level 1 laboratories)；
2. Level 2: Medium-risk venues (e.g., laboratories and other venues for experiments in the College of Science, College of Engineering, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, College of Life Sciences, and College of Veterinary Medicine)；
3. Level 3: Low-risk venues (e.g., research rooms and offices in the College of Liberal Arts, College of Law and Politics, and College of Management).nTo ensure the compliance of research venues managed by venue representatives (faculty members) and the cooperation of personnel (faculty members, laborers, and/or students) with the applicable provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, please update the Research Venue Operations Management System with the following information to help the University better manage its research venues:
1) Basic information of the research venue
2) Identification of especially hazardous operations
3) Personnel information
4) Information on certified/licensed technicians
5) Information on internal training procedures
6) Information on chemicals used
