Thirteen Laboratories at Ewha Womans University Certified as Exemplary Laboratories in Safety Management in 2024
Ewha Womans University demonstrated its exemplary capability for laboratory safety management as 13 laboratories obtained certification from the Ministry of Science and ICT under the Certification of Exemplary Laboratories in Safety Management program in 2024.
The Certification of Exemplary Laboratories in Safety Management program aims to improve the safety management level of laboratories at universities and research organizations based in Korea and to spread the model standards of laboratory safety management. The certification is available to approximately 83,000 laboratories and is granted to laboratories which pass an assessment by experts. The 2024 assessment took place in August and examined each laboratory’s compliance with 29 requirements in three fields such as a system for a safe laboratory environment, safety-related activities, and safety awareness.
At Ewha Womans University, 13 laboratories—Bio & Nano Electro-mechanics Lab, Polymeric Biomaterials Lab, Sustainable Catalysis Lab, Laboratory of Integrative Organismal Protistology, Common Equipment Room, Environmental Electrochemistry Laboratory, Cell Biointerface Engineering Laboratory, NanoBio Engineering Lab, Center for Infectious Disease Treatment & Control, Genome Integrity & Structural Biology Lab, Department of Biochemistry, and Laboratory of Nano Imaging—obtained the certification. The number of certified laboratories has almost doubled from 2023.
Ewha Womans University has constantly worked to improve laboratory safety through regular inspections, thorough safety assessment, self-inspections, and safety education. In addition, Ewha’s Exemplary Laboratory Safety program to reward outstanding laboratories in safety management has been in place since 2009 as part of the university’s continued efforts to establish an advanced research environment.
