Campus Environmental Safety

 

 

Constructing a Campus Safety Network Mechanism 

Our university has established a Center for Campus Safety and Disaster Prevention Reporting and Response and formulated an "Operational Plan for the Campus Safety and Disaster Prevention Handling Center." This plan integrates community police resources and the campus security system, with 24-hour monitoring to handle emergencies, traffic accidents, medical care, and other sudden incidents, ensuring timely communication and immediate services. The center oversees units responsible for constructing internal and external safety network mechanisms, strengthening both software and hardware facilities on campus, and effectively enhancing overall campus safety.

Each quarter, the university compiles reporting data to develop comprehensive preventive strategies. Campus officers patrol and record safety conditions in designated areas daily. The campus is equipped with 5 emergency call systems and 796 emergency call buttons (phones), with regular updates and improvements to campus facilities. A mobile campus safety unit has been established to improve incident response efficiency. The university categorizes campus safety incidents into four levels based on impact, severity, and subsequent developments, with corresponding command and control measures.

Disaster Potential Analysis 

Our university conducts a review based on the disaster potential maps provided by the Ministry of Education's Disaster Prevention Education Information Network GIS platform and the disaster potential analysis results from the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction. This review identifies various potential disaster risks that could occur on campus and in nearby areas. The university conducts campus environment safety inspections and on-site surveys to proactively implement disaster prevention and mitigation measures. Within a 500-meter radius of the campus, there is a potential risk of flooding (dark blue area), and the campus is located in a low soil liquefaction potential zone for earthquake disasters (green area).

Enhancing Safety Education for Faculty and Students  

 

To strengthen student safety education, our university organizes disaster prevention education programs every semester, including disaster and earthquake safety campaigns, evacuation route drills, and workshops. These activities aim to familiarize students with safety response mechanisms and promote national defense education goals. Integrated with the national defense curriculum, all faculty and students are required to complete earthquake evacuation and sheltering drills, practice evacuation routes, and conduct headcounts, ensuring everyone understands the key procedures. During the academic year 2022, the university also organized Campus Safety Week, Campus Safety Seminars, Digital Poster Competitions, and Banner Creativity Competitions to raise awareness of campus safety among students.

Production of "Student Safety Cards"

Produced 5,000 "Student Safety Cards" for first-year and transfer students, complemented by 4 campus safety seminars.

Earthquake and Disaster Safety Awareness Campaign and Evacuation Drills

Every year, in coordination with National Disaster Prevention Day (September 21), earthquake evacuation drills are held during school assemblies, in student dormitories, and in the kindergarten. These activities include disaster and earthquake safety awareness education, explaining earthquake evacuation principles, and conducting practical drills. Approximately 10,582 people participated.

 


 

Promoting Traffic Safety Education  

To cultivate good traffic safety habits among faculty and students and establish proper traffic order to ensure safety, our university has developed the "Traffic Safety Education Implementation Plan" and formulated the "Guidelines for the Establishment of the Traffic Safety Committee." The committee is chaired by the university president, with the Dean of Student Affairs and the Director of the Military Training and Campus Safety Center serving as the Executive Secretary and Deputy Executive Secretary. The committee meets once per semester to discuss campus traffic safety issues.

Traffic safety education is promoted through various channels, including new student orientation, school-wide assemblies, and department meetings, where experts and scholars are invited to lecture on traffic safety. Hands-on traffic safety activities are integrated into life education to emphasize motorcycle safety. The "Traffic Safety Service Club" was established to train members of the "Student Traffic Self-governance Team" to assist in traffic control and maintain order.

In the academic year 2022, 24 traffic safety promotion events, 25 diverse traffic safety activities, and 6 traffic safety command guidance and training sessions were held, with a total participation of 5,000 faculty and students.

The university has strengthened campus traffic safety planning and control by enhancing vehicle management and permit procedures according to the "Regulations on Access Control and Parking Lot Management." Vehicles are prohibited from entering campus teaching areas without prior approval, and security personnel are responsible for verifying and issuing passes. During arrival and dismissal times, campus safety officers and the Student Traffic Self-governance Team oversee traffic control at the school gates. The entrance and exit are designed with separate lanes for cars, motorcycles, and pedestrians, with dedicated pedestrian paths managed by the security team to ensure smooth traffic flow.

Campus Restaurant Hygiene Audit  

In the academic year 2022, our university underwent food hygiene guidance from the Ministry of Education, assisting two vendors. Based on the results of this guidance, we have continued to strengthen hygiene management in the school’s dining areas and among personnel, as well as the management of food additives and cleaning agents, to protect the food hygiene and safety of faculty, staff, and students. Further guidance is scheduled for May 3, 2024, in the academic year 23. The following are the before and after improvements in the student cafeteria’s buffet area (Zhongye International Co., Ltd.)
