工学部長の増田でございます。
本日８月１０日は，「工学部安全の日」です。
今から２５年前の平成４年８月１０日，当時，助手であった先生と博士後期課程１年の大学院生のお二人が亡くなるという重大な事故が発生いたしました。
原因は，液化窒素から発生した多量の窒素による酸欠とされております。
この出来事を重く受け止め，安全の徹底によって，工学部を事故の無い教育・研究の場とすることを誓い，「工学部安全の日」を定めました。
本学部はこれからも，安全に実験や研究ができるように，安全衛生管理室を中心に様々な取り組みを実施していく所存です。
ここに，亡くなられたお二人に謹んで哀悼の意を表し，みなさん一人ひとりが，安全の意義について考え，学業や研究に取り組んでいただきたく，心よりお願い申し上げます。
Address by the Dean on the Safety Campaign Day at School of Engineering
10 August 2017
This is Masuda, Dean of School of Engineering.
Today, the 10th of August is the day for safety campaign at School of Engineering.
Twenty five years ago just today, the 10th of August in 1992, a tragic accident took away the precious lives of an assistant professor and a doctor course student.
This accident is believed to be caused by oxygen deficiency due to large quantities of nitrogen generated from liquid nitrogen.
School of Engineering took this accident seriously and designated this day as “Safety Campaign Day” resolving to keep the school a safe place for education and research with strict security measures.
With a central role of Safety and Health Management Office, School of Engineering will continuously make various efforts to create a safe and secure environment for research and experiments.
On this occasion, I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the two colleagues who passed away, and request each of you to have higher awareness of safety management during study and research.
