NKUST implements various environmental protection and occupational safety and health management measures in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Management Plan. Through the Environmental Protection and Occupational Safety and Health Committee, the university regularly reviews and revises related plans on environmental protection, occupational safety and health, radiation protection, and fire safety. This ongoing process continuously enhances campus safety management mechanisms and improves campus environmental quality and occupational safety and health performance. The committee also provides channels for faculty, staff, and related units to express opinions, seek consultation, and communicate on occupational safety and health issues. Suggestions raised during meetings are consolidated by the Environmental Safety and Health Center and followed up for improvement according to the division of responsibilities. Faculty and staff may also report safety and health concerns through the Environmental Safety and Health Center, the occupational safety and health contacts of each unit, or the university affairs suggestion system. After receiving such reports, the relevant matters are forwarded to the responsible units for handling and serve as references for the ongoing revision of the occupational safety and health management plan.
