Mechanical
and System Safety Research Group |
|
|
To prevent mechanical accidents, the
Mechanical and System Safety Research Group investigates the strength evaluation
for pressure vessels and structures, the application of failsafe techniques for
automated machines, the development of new systems requiring the human-machine
interface, and the applications of artificial intelligence. |

Construction
Safety Research Group |
|
|
The Construction Safety Research Group
studies the requirements for the safe conduct of construction work and to improve
methods for the working environment at construction sites. The main subjects of
the research are safety in temporary work, safety in earthwork, prevention of
accidents involving falls and slipping, and safety assessment of newly developed
methods of construction work. |

Chemical
Safety Research Group |
|
|
The group studying chemical safety
uses theoretical and experimental methods to prevent chemical accidents associated
with the thermal properties of unstable chemicals, exothermic chemical reactions,
and the explosion mechanisms of flammable dusts and gases. The group also strives
to prevent accidents that could be caused by newly introduced materials or processes
and, by so doing, contributes to the development of new technologies. |

Physical
Engineering Safety Research Group |
|
|
The Physical Engineering Safety Research
Group covers the prevention of industrial hazards caused by physical factors such
as electricity and heat. The main activities are as follows: elucidation and prevention
of electric shock, elucidation and diagnosis of deterioration of electrical insulating
materials, prevention of electrostatic hazards and nuisances, prevention of malfunctions
in electronic equipment and systems caused by electromagnetic noise, and application
of electronic and electric technologies to industrial safety. |

Interdisciplinary
and Human Science Safety Research Group |
|
|
The main research activities of the
Interdisciplinary and Human Science Safety Research Group cover human factors,
safety management, risk analysis of accidents, and information technology that
are common to all industrial situations. |
