SI 2 Safe Buildings and Safe, Clean, Green Environments

[2.1] Safety Regulations and Standards for Buildings and Infrastructure

Description:

Regulations and standards. Siam University’s Safety Policy, one of its policies for a sustainable future, commits the University to a safety management system that complies with the national safety standard and the Safety Act, applies to all staff, students and surrounding communities, and includes safety audits and continual improvement. Safety rules and good practice are promoted to all students, staff and adjunct staff (Table SI 2.1.1).

Active implementation. The Program of Occupational Health and Safety of the Faculty of Medicine runs the annual fire evacuation drill – most recently on 9 June 2025, with a fire-safety talk, fire-extinguisher practice, evacuation and first aid – and the Siam Safety & Healthy Week seminars on building systems and occupational safety (2024 and 2025). Occupational Health and Safety students trained canteen vendors on sanitation standards on 13 June 2026, and the district’s City Law Enforcement Section managed traffic, order and safety during Siam Sports Fair 2026. The Division of Occupational Health and Safety received the National Runner-up Innovation Award at the National Safety Innovation Awards 2026.

Monitoring and evaluation. After the earthquake of 28 March 2025, the University carried out a comprehensive building inspection and structural evaluation of every campus building with the Division of Civil Engineering of the Phasi Charoen District Office, and extended it to two nearby schools and a condominium; the Faculty of Engineering inspected the Chalerm Phra Kiat Building. After the two largest events of the year – Siam Fair 2025 (15–23 November 2025) and Siam Sports Fair 2026 (20–29 March 2026), each with more than 1,000 participants a day – the Building and Grounds Division inspected the buildings, electrical systems and cleanliness before the areas were returned to teaching. Campus canteens are inspected by the district every year (Semester 1/2025 and 18 June 2026) (Table SI 2.1.2).
