About Lock Lock Setting

The Safety Security Management System is designed to be regularly updated to the latest information by linking with the following computer system to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of information.
- Academic Affair System: Info. on the persons engaged in research activities
- Space management system: Laboratory info., full-time persons who engage in research activities, information on the equipment to manage

The Lock function should be set not to automatically update the laboratory information or informationon the equipmentto manage

Electrical Safety
Safety Check against Electricity
  • Safety inspection of electricity in laboratories

    Electric shock and electric fire are the most common accidents in laboratories.

    • Safe use of electricity
      • General information
        • - General information
        • - Do not place flammable or combustible solvents near power switches.
        • - Do not store unnecessary items such as experimental equipment inside the switch box (distribution board).
        • - If spark or smoke is generated from an electric device such as a motor, immediately turn the power switch off and contact the electricity department.
        • - A switch name and a place where the switch is used should be marked on the switch.
        • - When repairing or checking electric equipment, the mark, "Under Repair" or "Under Inspection," should be displayed, and only the people concerned can access the area.
        • - Earth should allow correct connection.
        • - Do not allow flammable materials to contact with electrical equipment such as switches, distribution boards, and motors.
        • - Switches should be opened/closed after checking the safety of the connection parts.
        • - Do not use electric wiring arbitrarily without permission.
        • - Do not use a defective electrical equipment or an electrical equipment in poor operating conditions.
      • Do not pull the power cable but pull the entire power cord when unplugging the power cord.
        • - Daily inspection of electrical equipment (common)
        • - When using electricity in a humid or damp place, mechanical equipment should be earthed and hands and feet should not be wet.
        • - The cords or wiring devices for using electrical equipment should secure proper capacity and specification.
        • - An earth leakage circuit breaker, which is the basic device to prevent fire or electric shock caused by power leakage, should be checked once a month or more frequently. To check if it is functioning normally, use the test button.
        • - Continuous used of old electrical systems may highly result in power leakage, short circuit, or electric shock. They should be maintained/repaired.
    • A qualified person should handle electrical equipment for its maintenance/repair. If not, very dangerous results may occur. Contact the electricity department.
      • - How to safety perform electrical works
      • - Before inspecting the equipment, turn the circuit switch off and unplug the equipment.
      • - Before turning a switch off, wear insulated gloves if possible. With your right hand, turn the switch down while setting your face toward the other side.
      • - When working on electrical systems, use non-conductive handles for tools or fixtures.
      • - A live part or a part where electricity flows from electrical equipment should be insulated.
      • - The circuit wiring connected to the power should not be arbitrarily changed.
      • - Secure enough place for working and clean the place all the time.
      • - Do not change the circuit while the power plug is connected to the power.
      • - After the circuit is securely connected, connect the power plug to the power outlet.
      • - Do not touch the circuit with wet hands or objects.
      • - Check the connection of the earth wire connected to electrical equipment.
      • - A cord line should be as short as possible.
      • - Do not use a flammable material near electrical equipment.
      • - Do not use multiple outlets if possible. If an additional outlet is needed, contact the electricity department to request additional installation.
