National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) has established a comprehensive system for managing hazardous waste generated from laboratories and university operations. Coordinated by the Center for Occupational Safety and Health and Environmental Protection, the system covers chemical, biological, radioactive, and other hazardous materials.
Laboratories are required to classify, collect, package, label, store, and dispose of hazardous waste in accordance with University regulations. Waste is segregated by type and characteristics, stored in designated containers, and managed with appropriate hazard labelling, secondary containment, and protective measures.
NCKU also maintains controlled collection and transportation procedures. Waste is documented before collection, transported by authorised contractors, verified through waste manifests, weighed, and supported by proper treatment records. An integrated environmental, health and safety information system supports waste reporting, quantity recording, collection scheduling, and tracking.
Each year, NCKU reviews and, where necessary, revises its internal regulations in accordance with updates to relevant central government laws and regulations. Annual waste-management briefings also highlight the latest regulatory amendments and disposal requirements, ensuring that laboratory personnel remain informed and apply current requirements in daily operations.
Through regulatory review, digital tracking, authorised disposal, and annual training, NCKU maintains safe, traceable, and compliant hazardous waste management.

NCKU manages hazardous laboratory waste through established procedures for classification, storage, labelling, collection, transportation, treatment, and documentation. Hazardous wastes are segregated according to type and characteristics, stored in designated containers, and clearly labelled. Waste collection and transportation must follow prescribed procedures, including authorised contractors, waste manifests, weighing, and treatment records. These controls ensure traceable, safe, and compliant handling from temporary storage through final treatment.
NCKU also specifies storage and packaging requirements. Laboratory liquid waste must be stored in designated containers with classification and hazard labels and placed in secondary containment to prevent leakage. Solid laboratory waste must likewise be appropriately segregated, packaged and labelled.
