The Management Office for Safety and Health is an organization with the objective of maintaining the safety and health of staff and students working at the institute. The use of chemicals, high-pressure gas and radiation in research activities at the institute entails many risks. The Management Office for Safety and Health provides support for safety and health management in facilities such as research laboratories, experimental facilities, and machine shops through activities to ensure that research activities within the institute are conducted safely and smoothly.
With respect to safety and health management, the Safety and Health Committee, comprising the Director, staff at the institute and industrial physicians, discusses matters related to safety and health and the maintenance of the safety and health management system at the institute, and submits recommendations to the Director and Faculty Council.
