HYGIENE, SAFETY, AND HEALTH POLICIES AND REGULATIONS

In accordance with the provisions of the School Health Act of the Ministry of Education, the school preferentially adopts high-quality, local agricultural products certified by the central agricultural authority, and prohibits the use of genetically modified foods and their primary processed products. The relevant provisions are stipulated in our contracts with the school's outsourcing manufacturers.

In order to effectively manage the handling and disposal of toxic substances, Taipei Tech established the Safety, Health, Environmental Protection, Fire, and Radiation Management Committee in 2000 to discuss matters related to the handling and management of toxic chemical substances and the removal of chemical waste to prevent harm to the environment. In 2020, we reviewed the management policy, revised the mandate of the management committee, and renamed the organization the Safety, Health, and Environmental Protection Committee. The committee is charged with managing the handling and disposal of toxic chemical substances, reporting their disposal status during committee meetings, and adjusting the toxic substances disposal policy as needed.

Furthermore, since January 1, 2012, the school has outsourced about 60 tons of waste per month. Starting from January 1, 2015, after actual calculations, the revised contract was for 50 tons per month, and a new policy was adopted mandating that waste must not be deposited on campus at all, but should be carried directly to the outsourcing garbage trucks and thence to waste incinerators for disposal.

WASTE TRACKING

The amount of waste generated and recycled across the university is measured every year. In addition, no waste is sent to landfills. A total of 600 tons of waste was generated from January to December 2020, and 4 tons of waste was collected from January to December 2020.
