In monthly school-wide meetings, the Board of Directors regularly reminds leaders of departments, divisions, faculties/departments to thoroughly understand all staff and lecturers to strictly comply with regulations on the economical and safe use of equipment. Contents on fire prevention, fire fighting, rescue, and salvage are also integrated into political activities at the beginning of the school year to make them widely known to students.
