Abstract
In order to prevent accidents related to undergraduates on campus, contributory factors of undergraduates’ unsafe acts were analyzed. By conducting a survey and data analysis, factors leading to unsafe acts and quantitative relationship among these factors and unsafe acts were studied. A structural equation model (SEM) expressing causes to unsafe acts was built. The results showed that university safety investment, university safety management, safety awareness of undergraduates and influences from their family had direct impacts on unsafe acts of undergraduates, and safety awareness had the most significant impact. It was also revealed that safety training at university, safety education at secondary school, relationship among students had indirect or less influence on preventing undergraduates’ unsafe acts.
