对日本国立大学的国际研究生的实验室安全教育进行了全国范围的调查。230多名受访者的结果显示，实验室安全指导因地而异，虽然大多数研究生认为他们得到了足够的指导，但31%的人表示提供的指导不够，13%的人表示根本没有提供。语言成为一个关键问题，因为结果显示，虽然四分之一的研究生报告说他们有良好的日语技能，但一半的研究生说，教学是用日语提供的。许多研究生写信请求提供更多的英文手册和说明。书面评论指出，他们自己国家的实验室条件与日本设备齐全的实验室之间存在差距，教师并不总是认识到这一点，导致教学不足。调查结果表明，需要采取行动，提供一个更好的安全指导/培训系统，并为在日本进行研究生研究的国际学生提供英语。
A nation-wide survey on lab safety education of international graduate students in national universities in Japan was conducted. The results of the over 230 respondents revealed that lab safety instruction varied from place to place and, while the majority of the graduate students felt that they received sufficient instruction, 31% said that what was provided wasn’t enough and 13% said it wasn’t provided at all. Language emerged as a key issue as the results showed that while one fourth reported that they had good Japanese language skills, half of the graduate students said that instruction was provided in Japanese. Many graduate students wrote pleas for more manuals and instruction in English. Write-in comments indicated a gap between the conditions of labs in their own countries and the well-equipped labs in Japan that was not always recognized by the instructor, resulting in insufficient instruction. The results of the survey imply that action needs to be taken to provide a system for better safety instruction/training and to provide it in English for international students doing graduate research in Japan.
