Investigation of the management of industrial safety and health at an educational research institution.

Following the incorporation of national universities, the Industrial Safety and Health Law became applicable to universities. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 93 national universities in order to ascertain the current management of industrial safety and health at incorporated national universities. The present findings indicate that each university has established a managerial organization in accordance with the Industrial Safety and Health Law; however, it is important for such organizations to maintain and improve safety management. Therefore, the implementation of a safety and health management system in conjunction with the managerial organization required by the Industrial Safety and Health Law is recommended as a method of enhancing safety management at university laboratories.
