Abstract
The challenges in and the strategies for enhancing laboratory safety within university chemical and materialscience labs are explored in this paper. Key issues such as insufficient safety awareness, inadequate management systems,and the absence of effective reward and punishment mechanisms are identified. Focusing on practical solutions, the studyadvocates for a robust safety control system, regular safety inspections, proper hazardous material handling, and targetedsafety education and training. The findings emphasize the critical need for a holistic approach to safety management inacademic laboratories, highlighting the importance of a balanced integration of awareness, regulation, and proactive riskmanagement in ensuring a safe academic research environment.
