Campus Health & Safety

MCUT adheres to the spirit of "Diligence and simplicity," fulfills its responsibilities, and moves toward sustainable development. We aim to enhance the environmental quality of our campus, prioritize occupational health and safety (OSH) management, and follow the PDCA cycle to continuously improve our environmental health and safety (ESH) performance. Additionally, we integrate safety into students' daily campus life by addressing security incidents in real time and enhancing their safety awareness. We also focus on promoting a positive campus safety culture and creating an environment that ensures the safety of all faculty, staff, students, and stakeholders. In pursuit of these goals, we commit to:

I. Compliance with Regulations and Creation of Values
II. Pollution Prevention and Continual Improvement
III. Ecological Cycle and Sustainable Management
IV. Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction for a Green Campus
V. Emphasis on Health and Safety and Disaster Reduction
VI. Total Involvement and Awareness Enhancement

ESH Management

In line with the operational model specified in the Measures for Occupational Health and Safety Management, MCUT has established the "Office of Environmental Protection, Occupational Safety, and Hygiene." This office comprises the "Environmental Protection Team" and the "Safety and Hygiene Team." The Safety and Hygiene Team includes two dedicated OSH personnel and one vocational nurse, tasked with managing OSH, supervising and guiding fire safety, and ensuring radiation safety protection throughout the university. The Environmental Protection Team focuses on reducing and treating campus waste and sewage, managing the campus environment, providing education and training, and promoting projects related to environmental protection. Furthermore, the President heads the "Toxic and Concerned Chemical Substance Operation Committee," which consists of 49 members, 19 of whom are labor representatives (approximately 38.8%). This committee meets quarterly to discuss matters related to environmental safety and hygiene, as well as the management of toxic and hazardous chemical substances.

Occupational Safety Management System

MCUT introduced the campus safety and health management system certification from the Ministry of Education in 2011 and underwent three stages of counseling from Ministry of Education counselors in 2020. In 2021, the university passed the fourth-stage certification from the audit and verification team comprised of specialized talents and scholars invited by the Ministry of Education. Additionally, to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), MCUT achieved ISO 45001 certification and received the relevant certificate in July 2022. The scope of this certificate encompasses the administrative offices and laboratories of each department. The applicable entities include the faculty and staff from each department of the university, as well as training students.

Through an operation mode focused on hazard identification and risk assessment, we conduct daily operation checks and risk level evaluations to prioritize the chemical safety and fire safety of laboratories. To this end, we have developed relevant measures or procedures such as "Toxic and Concerned Chemical Substance Operation Committee,"  "Regulations (Measures) on Health and Safety Management," "Measures for Laboratory Management," "Administrative Measures for Firefighting Equipment Safety," and "Administrative Measures for Accident Handling." Additionally, we have established a chemical management system platform to implement each evaluation and classified management task, effectively reducing the risks associated with laboratory operations.
