Course description and aims
The course teaches basic knowledge on laboratory safety in chemistry field. Therefore, the concept of safety and risk, potential risk caused by chemical hazards, related low, chemical risk assessment, resources and waste, management of chemical waste and emergency procedures are learned. Chemical substance and global environmental issues are also discussed.
This course will allow students understand laboratory safety before Laboratory Course in Basic Chemistry in the year of sophomore. In addition, toward Class A hazardous materials engineer's qualification examination, students will learn related low regarding chemicals. Students will also learn how to use fire extinguisher in case of emergency.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will:
1) Understand the concept of safety and the significance of preparation for safety chemical experiments
2) Explain potential risk caused by chemical hazards and significance of risk assessment
3) Explain chemical substance management and it related low
4) Explain chemical substance and global environmental issues
5) Explain emergency procedures
6) Use fire extinguisher in case of emergency
