ABSTRACT

This paper explores the key role of mental health education in university laboratory safety education. It analyzes the causes of laboratory safety accidents and the deficiencies of current safety education measures, emphasizing the importance of mental health education in reducing students' psychological pressure, enhancing safety awareness, promoting team-work and coping with emergencies. The paper proposes practical solutions such as integrating mental health education into the curriculum of laboratory safety education, conducting special lectures, training courses, and case studies, and provides suggestions for optimizing the university laboratory safety education model. It emphasizes that improving laboratory safety education and mental health education measures can reduce the risk of safety accidents, provide students with a safe and healthy experimental environment, and cultivate high-quality talents.
