The purpose is to cultivate students’ safety awareness, strengthen the overall understanding of laboratory safety, and introduce our school’s laboratory safety management functional institutions, so that students can work in the laboratory in the future. Lay the foundation for the smooth development of scientific research and learning within the country. Jin Huang, the training supervisor of the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Department, introduced the departmental functions, organizational structure and team division of the Environmental Health and Safety Division.
