Course overview and goals
[Summary of the Lecture]
This lecture provides an overview of safety in chemical research, including fundamental policies for balancing chemical experimentation with environmental protection, as well as principles of risk management.
[Aim of the Lecture]
In chemical research, not only technical skills but also effective safety measures based on risk management are essential to prevent accidents. It is also important to protect one’s own health and safety by understanding relevant laws and regulations, and to develop professional ethics as chemists, such as minimizing environmental impact. This lecture aims to equip students with the ability to conduct chemical research safely and responsibly.
