5 Minute Guide for Hazard Reporting Reward Program: Best Practice of ECUST

The Work Safety Committee of the State Council has requested all production and business operation entities to establish an Internal Program Rewarding the Reporting of Work Safety Hazards by the end of 2025. At the beginning of this year, the Shanghai Work Safety Committee compiled the booklet “A Collection of Best Practices for an Internal Program Rewarding the Reporting of Work Safety Hazards”. It summarized four key elements that constitute an impactful internal reporting and rewarding program:

* a comprehensive hazard discovery mechanism

* a meaningful rewarding system

* an efficient corrective action process

* an effective feedback and improvement loop

To further promote these best practices, we selected several successful cases and created a series of concise, five-minute guides to help all entities create and deploy their own programs. Today’s story is from the East China University of Science and Technology.

The East China University of Science and Technology is New China's first university to focus on chemical technology. It has three campuses in Shanghai’s Xuhui and Fengxian districts, with about 33,000 students and faculty members.

The university has established a comprehensive and multi-layer digitalized “RAMP” hazard management system to ensure its labs’ safe operation and to protect the students and faculty on campus.

A Program Created and Shared by All – Building An Innovation-driven Hazard Management System

The university has developed the “RAMP” system, which is a digitalized lab hazard management and education system with contribution from students and faculty members. It has four modules: Recognize hazards, Assess risks, Minimize risks and Prepare for emergencies. To provide technology and operational support for RAMP, the university also developed an innovative, digitalized Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) lab management system.

QR codes have been widely used in the management of chemical materials, gas cylinders, equipment and hazardous waste. Every item is now assigned a unique QR code with over 530,000 codes in the system. The university has also created 11,185 “space codes” to identity distinct locations. The database now holds information on 22,000 types of chemicals, totaling over 410,000 bottles. Through this approach, a chain of accountability is established, which ensures that each bottle is given a QR code, is recorded on a register and is assigned to a person responsible for its management.

A Customized Vertical Database for In-depth Analysis

The university has developed the “Safety Service as an Education” Hazard Management Iceberg Model. This model integrates a diversified database of risks associated with over 100,000 types of chemicals, a knowledge base of chemical usage, personal protection and storage hazards, and an advanced algorithm. It can accurately push personalized safety knowledge and protection tips based on specific needs and usage scenarios. Ultimately, it delivers comprehensive and reliable data support for lab safety management.

The university also launched a campus-wide initiative to mobilize all students and faculty members to identify chemical hazards in labs, which replaced the previous passive management practice of relying solely on the Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals. By transforming from a passive model to a proactive precise management model, the university has accelerated the development of its intelligent and scientific lab safety management mechanism.

An Hoor-based Program Rewarding the Reporting of Hazards

The university encourages all students and faculty members to use the HSE WeChat mini-program to report potential near-miss incidents, submit best practices, and follow corrective actions. To incentivize participation and the identification of safety hazards, the university rewards active users with honorary titles and bonus points in competitions. Additionally, the participants will receive prioritized recommendations for domestic and international academic events and training, which will further their academic and comprehensive development.

Developing PTO Module, Establishing Digital Emergency Response and Alert Network

The university has developed a Permit to Operate (PTO) module for risks associated with scientific research operations. By performing in-depth data mining and analysis on the labs’ inherent, dynamic and historical hazard records, this module drives a real-time digital system that monitors lab hazards and assigns them to various categories and levels.

The university has also created a real-time, multi-category, multi-level lab safety monitoring map. It integrates the digital system with data from a variety of sensors, including smoke detectors, temperature monitors, human radars and gas concentration level sensors. It enables 24/7 real-time monitoring and provides a smart alert service for the lab environment, creating a solid technology foundation to ensure lab safety.
