On Saturday, 11 July 2026, the Academic Affairs Unit of the School of Energy and Environment (SEEN), University of Phayao, organized the Occupational Safety and Basic First Aid Training Program under the School's Fiscal Year 2026 Action Plan. The training was attended by 150 second- and third-year undergraduate students.
The opening ceremony was presided over by Dr. Wanawan Pragot, Assistant Dean, with Asst. Prof. Dr. Supreeda Homklin, Mr. Chaiwat Photong, and SEEN staff serving as coordinators and facilitators throughout the training program.
The program aimed to equip students with essential knowledge and practical skills in occupational safety, accident prevention, and basic emergency response. It also prepared students to respond effectively to emergency situations while enhancing their readiness for laboratory work, field practice, and future careers in engineering and environmental professions.
The training covered three key topics: Fire Prevention and Basic Firefighting, Disaster and Natural Hazard Preparedness, and Emergency Evacuation and Emergency Management. These sessions emphasized safety awareness, accident risk reduction, and the development of practical emergency response skills. Students were encouraged to apply the knowledge gained not only in their academic studies and internships but also in their future professional careers.
This initiative reflects the School of Energy and Environment's commitment to developing graduates who are well equipped with both academic knowledge and essential 21st-century competencies. In particular, the program promotes a strong Safety Culture and strengthens students' preparedness for emergency situations—key attributes for future engineering and environmental professionals who are ready to meet the demands of their professions with competence and responsibility.
