Demand-oriented Reform on Cultivating Mode of Safety Management Students

Safety engineering undergraduates in our university who are engaged in enterprise's safety management accounted for 39.38% from 2004 to 2013. To make these safety management talents more qualified for enterprise, the enterprises’ demand of capacity, quality and knowledge for safety management talents were surveyed. Questionnaire survey was conducted on 60 enterprises in various industries and safety experts in some enterprises were interviewed. Results showed that the capacity requirements were mainly the abilities of communication and coordination, organizational management, learning, and cooperation as well as English and computer skills; the quality requirements were mainly the sense of responsibility, the ideology and moral character, physical quality, proactive and hardworking spirit; the knowledge requirements were mainly safety laws and regulations, safety management and technical knowledge. Based on it, the reformation suggestions of safety management teaching in our school were put forward, such as to optimize the curriculum content, teaching method and practice teaching, aiming to cultivate students’ capability; to set up more courses, such as the humanities and social sciences, economic management, natural sciences, arts and sports to cultivate comprehensive quality; to set up more basic courses of safety management, including occupational health and safety management system, data statistics and analysis, pedagogy, psychological and behavior science to broaden the safety management theory knowledge. Furthermore, theory and practice teaching combined with safety engineering students’ employment was also stressed.
