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.

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).
To 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
