Department of Safety Science and Technology was formally established in School of Resource and Environmental Engineering of Wuhan University of Science and Technology (WUST) in 1987. There are 13 full-time academic staff with different disciplinary backgrounds who work together to teach courses and undertake interdisciplinary researches in the department. This collaborative approach enables the department to form many teaching and research links with many other colleges in WUST such as the School of Mechanical Engineering and College of Medicine, as well as many other departments, including Environmental Engineering, and Mining Engineering.
The research field of Department of Safety Science and Technology of WUST focuses on safety, the environment, and general risk management. The department has complete laboratory facilities, which provides a valuable resource for research in fire dynamics of tunnel and underground space, city fire risk assessment technology, particle matters or aerosol removal, occupational and environmental toxicology, and mine safety technology. The department has also conducted theoretical researches on human factors, risk assessment, disaster management, health safety and the environment. The department has launched BSc, MS and Ph.D. degree courses. All these research degrees can be granted by WUST.
