Abstract

The purpose of this study is to confirm the degree of utilization of various laboratory safety-related information provided by the government in accordance with the Laboratory Safety Act enforced in 2006. In addition, it is to confirm the influence of safety-related information on laboratory field safety management. Through this, it is intended to check what kind of information provided by the government is helpful for institutional laboratory safety management, to confirm the performance of laboratory safety-related information provision, and to confirm the future direction of information provision. To this end, various laboratory safety-related information provided in accordance with the Laboratory Safety Act was nomadic, a questionnaire was developed, and a survey was conducted using it. A total of 1,288 copies of the survey were retrieved by e-mailing information to those subject to the Laboratory Safety Act and conducting the survey using an online URL.

The main research results are as follows. First, the utilization of information related to laboratory safety accidents was the highest, and the majority of laboratory safety management data utilization was found to be higher in universities and research institutes than in a business-affiliated research institutes. Second, it was found that the status of laboratory accidents, published materials such as manuals and guidelines, and safety education information were helpful in preventing laboratory accidents and improving researchers' safety awareness, and also in research activities and work performance. Therefore, in the future, it is necessary for the government to provide the latest information by frequently updating various information provided to laboratories. In addition, since information related to laboratory safety management provides various help to laboratory safety, it is necessary to provide additional information to the institution through a demand survey to find out what information is desired in the field to help the institution's safety management work well.
