Abstract

This paper examines the management of hazardous chemicals in Chinese university laboratories, identifying keychallenges and proposing improvements. It reviews current practices and safety measures, highlighting deficiencies suchas inadequate safety systems and insufficient awareness among personnel. The study emphasizes the necessity of tailoredsafety management systems, the integration of digital tracking technologies like Radio Frequency Identification, andenhanced safety training for staff. The proposed recommendations aim to mitigate risks and enhance laboratory safety andefficiency. In conclusion, the paper asserts that a comprehensive approach, encompassing improved management systems,technological advancements, and educational initiatives, is essential for safer chemical handling in academic researchenvironments
