How to Prevent Safety Accidents in Laboratories for College

"Laboratory safety is very important to our country's strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the cultivation of scientific research talents, and the development of science and technology. In recent years, our country has taken the lead in many scientific research fields, and the system construction is also constantly improving. I hope to make up for it as soon as possible. Institutionalize laboratory safety. "

——Yang Quanhong, member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and professor of the School of Chemical Engineering, Tianjin University.

01 China's two most important conferences - college professors pay close attention to laboratory safety

At the two major conferences, Yang Quanhong submitted the proposal of "customizing an exclusive insurance system for laboratory safety and laying a solid foundation for the country's revitalization through science and education". He said that in the past ten years, the level of scientific research in my country has improved rapidly, the density of scientific research has increased, and corresponding laboratory safety accidents have also increased.

At the two major national conferences last year, Li Jinghong, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a professor of chemistry at Tsinghua University, proposed the establishment of a digital technology operation management platform for hazardous chemicals. Li Jinghong is also concerned about laboratory safety issues. He believes that while the scale and number of university laboratories have increased sharply, laboratory safety issues have become more prominent.

02 Weakness - Management of Hazardous Chemicals in University Laboratories

University laboratories have the characteristics of storing many types and large quantities of hazardous chemicals, and most of them are not stored in strict accordance with the taboos of hazardous chemicals storage; , explosives management), pressure vessels and other special equipment management, laboratory waste chemical disposal and other aspects of safety hazards, the situation is grim, not optimistic.

"There are more than 36,000 laboratories in colleges and universities across the country, with a total area of more than 37 million square meters and a total value of more than 370 billion yuan in instruments and equipment. Every year, nearly 300,000 people directly or indirectly participate in dangerous experiments..."

According to statistics, nearly 80% of national university laboratory safety accidents are related to hazardous chemicals. Li Jinghong said: "The whole-process supervision and traceability of the procurement, transportation, storage, use, and waste disposal of laboratory hazardous chemicals has become a major security work."

In the current safety management of university laboratories, chemicals are one of the most important safety hazards. The top 5 safety hazards are chemical storage, experimental site environment, gas management, high temperature and refrigeration equipment, and hazardous waste disposal.

03 Conference - University Laboratory Safety Management Seminar

In order to improve the safety management level of laboratories in colleges and universities, prevent laboratory safety accidents, especially major accidents, and create a safe and harmonious teaching and scientific research environment, on March 4-5, the Laboratory Management Branch of the Chinese Society of Higher Education and China Higher Education The "2023 University Laboratory Safety Management Seminar" jointly organized by the Education and Training Center was held in Xiamen, Fujian.

More than 2,000 leaders, experimental safety managers and experimental teachers from various universities across the country in charge of laboratory safety work attended the meeting.

At the conference site, SYSBEL reported to the participants a series of achievements the company had made in the field of university laboratory safety management, and displayed two products specially designed for laboratories: electric door fire safety cabinets, intelligent waste temporary storage cabinet.
