In order to implement national workplace safety policies and actively respond to the Jinan City-wide emergency drill deployment requirements, Jinan Microecological Biomedicine Shandong Laboratory conducted safety emergency drills for elevator malfunctions and hazardous chemical accidents on June 19, 2025. All laboratory staff participated in the drills.
Prior to the drills, Wang Yanbo, Assistant Research Fellow from the Laboratory Biosafety Center, provided detailed training to participating staff on the properties of common hazardous chemicals in biological laboratories and corresponding emergency response measures. This effectively enhanced employees' emergency knowledge base.
During the elevator entrapment drill scenario, the simulation depicted individuals trapped due to sudden elevator malfunction. Departments strictly followed the emergency plan. Each step—from receiving the report and reassuring the trapped individuals, to cutting power, manually operating the elevator for rescue, and finally conducting post-incident equipment inspection and fault reporting—was effectively implemented and evaluated. This fully tested the staff's emergency response speed and the rescue team's coordination capabilities.
For the hazardous chemical incident drill, a glacial acetic acid leak was simulated. The medical rescue team promptly treated the injured personnel, the evacuation guidance team organized an orderly withdrawal of personnel, and the emergency response team quickly contained the leak source and completed the cleanup. The entire drill process was tense yet orderly, achieving the expected outcomes and verifying staff proficiency in standardized procedures for handling hazardous chemical leaks.
In his concluding remarks, Deputy Director Li Xingang emphasized that the drill significantly improved staff emergency response capabilities and validated the feasibility and effectiveness of the emergency plan. It successfully achieved the laboratory's fundamental goal of "everyone prioritizes safety, and everyone is capable in emergencies." Looking ahead, the laboratory will continue to strengthen safety management, regularly conduct various emergency drills, and continuously enhance the safety awareness and preparedness of all personnel. This will foster a safer and more stable working environment, providing a solid foundation for the laboratory's scientific research endeavors.
Personnel responsible for property management within the park complex also participated in the activity.
