The Impact of Digital Transformation on the Paradigm Shift of Laboratory Safety Management in Universities

Digital transformation has had a profound impact on the paradigm shift of laboratory safety management in universities. This study systematically analyzes its connotation, technical characteristics and applications, and reveals the trend of management mode shifting from traditional manual operation to intelligent and data-driven. Traditional laboratory safety management relies on manual inspections and paper records, which is inefficient and lags behind in risk prevention and control. Digital technology optimizes management processes through the integration of the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence, realizes real-time monitoring and precise prevention and control of risks, and improves the safety awareness of teachers and students through innovative training methods such as virtual reality. The study further explores the management opportunities brought about by digital transformation, such as efficiency improvement and resource optimization, and analyzes potential risks such as data security, technology costs and teacher and student adaptability. In response to these challenges, adaptive adjustment strategies for system optimization, technical support and differentiated management are proposed. This study summarizes the role of digital transformation in promoting the paradigm shift in laboratory safety management, looks forward to future research directions such as scenario-based applications, data security and cultural impact, and proposes practical suggestions for policy support, technical training and cross-departmental collaboration, providing theoretical and practical references for universities to build an efficient and safe laboratory management system.
