Chemical substance management at Kumamoto University
Chemical substance management regulations and chemical substance handling requirements
Unlike industry, universities use a wide variety of chemicals in small
quantities. Therefore, chemicals must be appropriately handled while considering
potential hazards related to their storage, usage, and disposal.
At Kumamoto University in March 2009, we established the Kumamoto University
Chemical Substance Management Regulations and the Kumamoto University Chemical
Substance Handling Requirements to promote the proper management of chemical
substances at our university.
Regulations
- Kumamoto University Chemical Management Regulations (in Japanese)
- Kumamoto University Chemical Substance Handling Requirements (in Japanese)
At Kumamoto University, chemical substance management briefing sessions are held for leaders in charge of chemical substance management at the beginning of the academic year.
