1. Eliminate human hidden dangers
The main part of the experimental work is human, and the insecurities of human beings are the most important cause of laboratory safety accidents. Therefore, only by starting from "people" and improving the safety awareness and literacy of experimental personnel through various means can we minimize the potential safety hazards.
※Hong Kong's universities attach great importance to laboratory safety. For example, graduate students are required to undergo mandatory safety training and examinations arranged by the University Safety and Environmental Affairs Office before using controlled materials or instruments. Undergraduate students of science and engineering should also be forced to conduct safety training. There are both major and online courses, as well as general safety training courses such as fire prevention and escape. Tsinghua University has developed an online learning and examination system for laboratory safety courses, using modern network information technology and rich network information resources to carry out laboratory safety education.
 
2. Build a secure environment
A good security environment is an important factor in ensuring the security of the laboratory. To build a secure environment, you should start with hardware and software.
Hardware:
The laboratory (floor) should be equipped with complete safety facilities such as fire-fighting equipment, alarm devices, emergency sprinklers, eye wash, first-aid kits, and waste collection devices. It is necessary to check the safety passage frequently to ensure the smooth passage of the safety passage and ensure that the experimental electricity and water are safe and qualified.
Software aspect:
Clearly identify the safety personnel of each laboratory, and clearly mark the potential hazards of each laboratory, clearly inform the safety precautions and use rules of various instruments and equipment, and clearly mark the hazards and emergency treatment measures of the chemicals. Regular safety inspections, safety learning and safety knowledge experiment technology and management competitions, strict incentives and penalties should be established to create a safe atmosphere.
 
3. Improve the system and improve safety awareness
Establishing a sound and clear laboratory management system and strictly implementing it is an important guarantee for the sustainable development of laboratory safety work, and also a necessary condition for the operation of the safety access system.
※The universities in Hong Kong generally have a school-level safety and environmental protection committee. The executive vice-president is responsible for formulating the school's safety policy, safety rules, safety guidelines, improving various rules and regulations, safety and environmental protection facilities, and setting up safety and environment. The Office of Management manages the day-to-day management, enabling security management to be carried out productively.
