This talk is about setting up a laboratory safety management system in an environment that involves multi-disciplinary research projects or even some new fields in technology and innovation. It includes how a safety professional shows his/her expertise in planning, implementing, enforcing, and assessing a laboratory safety management system in a university, how the problems that occur from the daily laboratory activities can help to create an effective preventive measure, and the challenges faced by the university in the existing laws.
