[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Mokwon University has been selected for the National Research Safety Management Headquarters' '2022 Laboratory Safety Environment Improvement Support Project.'

According to the university on the 7th, this project is implemented by the government to provide safety management consulting and facility improvement costs in advance to prevent accidents in science and technology research laboratories at universities and research institutions.

With this selection, Mokwon University will receive 50 million KRW in government funding to improve the research and laboratory environments in the College of Engineering and the College of Techno Science buildings.

First, through this project, the university plans to resolve the issue of space separation between research rooms and laboratories, and additionally secure safety protective equipment, sealed reagent cabinets, dedicated waste containers, and emergency shower facilities, which were previously insufficient, so that those engaged in research activities can focus on their work in a safe environment.

Park Young-man, the person in charge, said, "We will do our best to create an environment where all university members, including students, professors, and researchers, can continue their studies and research in a safe environment."

Meanwhile, it is said that Mokwon University's selection for the project was made possible through a sole report by Park Young-man from the Facilities Department, who is regarded as an expert in fire and safety within the university.

Park holds qualifications such as Fire Facility Manager and Hazardous Materials Management Technician, and has been responsible for safety on campus for 20 years as a fire safety manager, laboratory safety environment manager, and environmental technician at the university.
