Abstract
Experiments and practical training using a lot of chemicals are conducted at National Colleges of Technology as well as at universities. A big difference between colleges of technology and universities, however, is that there are no such centers or departments which specialize in the management of chemicals and the liquid-waste treatment at colleges of technology as universities have. The authors belong to the Technical Support Center for Education and Research or some engineering departments such as the Department of Chemistry and Materials Science, and support student-experiments, practical training and research for graduation. In some colleges of technology, technical employees are also in charge of the management of chemicals and the liquid-waste treatment. In this paper we report on the present situation of the environmental safety education and the treatment of ordinary trash and liquid-waste at colleges of technology. We also point out some problems which colleges of technology have and make a proposal for solving the problems.
