International Federation of Catholic Universities (FIUC)

FJCU has established the "Environmental Protection and Safety and Health Policy" to create a sustainable campus that is environmentally friendly, safe, healthy, and happy, based on the philosophy of "truth, goodness, beauty, and sacredness". All faculty, staff and students unanimously promise and assist external stakeholders such as contractors, visitors and the community in their efforts to:


  1. Implement self-management and comply with the obligations that should be observed.

  2. Promote energy conservation and waste reduction and actively prevent accidental pollution.

  3. Ensure safety and health, and strive for risk reduction management.

  4. Optimize processes and operations to improve the performance of environmental safety and health.

  5. Strengthen the communication and training and encourage the participation of all internal and external members.


In 2001, FJCU established the "Code of Practice for Laboratory Waste Disposal in Fu Jen Catholic University" and various environmental protection or safety and health policies and specifications: Carry through self-management, promote energy conservation and waste reduction, actively prevent accidental pollution, and strive for risk reduction management.
The Environmental Protection, Safety and Health Committee meets four times a year to review and adjust policies.

The safety and anti-pollution equipment in the "waste liquid/non-infectious/solid waste temporary storage site" includes ventilation equipment, explosion-proof piping and lighting, exhaust gas adsorption boxes, safety and protection first aid cabinets, and decontamination equipment like water washing towers to prevent the waste liquid from polluting the surrounding environment. For large solid waste, a pulverizer is in place to crush solid particles into smaller particles to achieve the goal of volume reduction. The related equipment is budgeted for regular maintenance.

In addition, the university has installed fire alarm equipment in the experimental sites, which is connected to the campus security center and the security guard room and can facilitate notification and evacuation in the first time of a disaster to ensure the safety of people.

The Environmental Protection, Safety and Health Committee meets four times a year to review and adjust policies.
