  • A new definition of safety
  • Safety organization and management
  • How to prevent fraud

Professor / YAMAGATA Hiroshi
Professor Yamagata served as a senior government official and is now active as a researcher. In research guidance, they help us by drawing on both the accumulated experience gained through practical work and systematic academic knowledge. That high perspective will give you solid growth.

Research Content

In this laboratory, we conduct research to rebuild safety based on “trust with society” and “the nature of the organization,” rather than the traditional approach to safety management that relies solely on “quantified risk.”
We are researching a new definition of safety that incorporates the perspectives of consumers and local residents, rather than just the traditional “low risk calculated by designers.”
We are also researching safety management that connects management and the field, as well as methods to elucidate the processes behind and prevent fraud such as data tampering, which has become increasingly prevalent in recent years.

Safety is Our First Priority

A Day in the Lab

Working students will receive guidance in individual seminars.
They can receive guidance even from a distance using remote conferencing tools.
These seminars are used to discuss the progress of research and prepare for academic presentations.
As an annual event, everyone in the lab also watches the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival.
