  • In Singapore, biosafety and biosecurity measures are controlled by the Biological Agents and Toxins Act (BATA) and other requirements by regulatory agencies. The law prohibits and otherwise regulates the possession, use, import, transhipment, transfer, and transportation of biological agents, inactivated biological agents, and toxins that are of public health concern. The law also defines the facility requirements for high risk biological agents and toxins. The containment facility (BSL 3) is a minimum requirement to handle biological agents that falls under Schedule 1 (Risk Group 3). The Nanyang Technological University School of Biological Sciences Biosafety Level 3 Facility (NTU-SBS BSL 3) was designed specifically for research involving potential hazardous biological materials. The facility requires yearly re-certification by an approved facility certifier to meet the local requirements and international biosafety standards for a containment facility in many instances. On the other hand, most NTU researchers conduct biological projects involving biological agents with low or moderate risk groups (Risk Groups 1 and 2 or biological agents described in schedule 3 and 4 of BATA) and GMOs, which need only a BSL 2 laboratory. BSL 2 laboratories are yet to be legally certified or registered in Singapore. Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) identifies the requirements; defines a minimum standard in the safe control of biological risks and registers all BSL 2 laboratories in the NTU. Therefore, under the guidance of the IBC, the University Biosafety and Biosecurity Programme includes the audit and certification program as a unique and an internal exercise to bring NTU biosafety to a higher level.

  • In this study, legislative and policy issues related to advancing the maintenance system of water resource facilities were presented by investigating and analyzing the degree of aging and management status of water resource facilities. Data from the comprehensive Facility Management System (FMS) operated by the Korea Infrastructure Safety Corporation were collected and used to analyze the aging of water resource facilities. Using safety grade data categorized by facility, type, local area, and grade, the ratio of dangerous facilities and the aging rate were calculated to analyze the status of water resource facilities and guidelines and manuals related to water resource facilities were investigated. Through this, four required actions to address legislative and policy issues were presented: 1) Readjusting the scope of water resource facilities and supplementing guidelines and manuals, 2) Establishing a maintenance system considering changes in disaster conditions, 3) Improving the FMS and activating standard linkage services, and 4) Establishing a facility asset management system.

  • To review the appropriateness of current regulations on the simple explosive storage facility, the effects of internal explosion on the structural stability of the standard storage facility were analyzed by means of both FEM analyses and field experiments. As a result, it was found that the explosion-proof performance of the existing storage structure was not sufficient for 15 kg of emulsion-type explosive. Thus, an alternative method of splitting explosives was tested by conducting sympathetic detonation experiments. This method worked properly as expected, and the proper amount of splitted explosive was determined according to the test results. In addition, a storage structure with open ceiling was found to be very effective because explosion pressure was released so rapidly that the damage of the facility could be reduced significantly. Hence, such a structural pattern was proposed as a new design scheme for simple explosive storage facility.

  • Because the rain gauges of tipping bucket type can easily use the digital signal, the rain gauges are widely used for the meteorological observation. In general, the resolution of rain gauges of tipping bucket type can be categorized by the 0.1mm, 0.5mm, and 1.0mm classes. But, the error of the tipping bucket rain gauges is made by the intensity of rainfalls and is expected to make the standard calibration method for error measurement. Thus, we developed the hardware of standard calibration facility for rain gauges by weighting measurement method and proposed the standard procedure by rainfall intensity in this study Also, we calculated the error for the rainfall intensity and obtained useful result through the proposed calibration method.

  • For the evaluating daylighting performance, field measurement, scale model test and a set of computer tools can be applied. For the scale model measurements, the sky simulator is a vital facility to represent the desired sky conditions consistently. Recently K university has developed a large size sky simulator, 6m-diameter and 3.7m-height, that is suitable for the international standard. To verify the reliability of the sky simulator, the luminance distribution on the inner sky surface was measured and compared with the CIE standard overcast sky model. It is found that the sky simulator can be reproduced the CIE standard overcast sky condition with 4.3% as mean difference. K university sky simulator is fully validated for usability and accuracy for daylighting researches.
