Protection measures for employees’ working environment and personal safety

The Company follows the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the related requirements of stakeholders regarding occupational safety and health, and has established the Company’s Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) policy. The following commitments and declarations are made regarding EHS operations and management:

Compliance with EHS-related regulatory requirements.
Prevention of occupational accidents, diseases, and pollution incidents.
Enhancement of EHS awareness.
Implementation of EHS communication and consultation.
Continuous improvement of EHS performance.

We have an industrial safety planning department that regularly checks the implementation of environmental protection, safety, and fire protection in each unit of the company. In addition, there are “Employee Health Examination Management Regulations” and “Disaster Prevention and Emergency Response Operation Regulations” to conduct regular employee health examinations, and to minimize disasters when emergencies occur. We have also set up a clinic with on-site nurses and on-site physicians to provide appropriate medical assistance.

In 2024, there were five occupational accidents, involving five employees or accounting for 0.60% of the total number of employees at the end of same year. The frequency of incapacitating injuries was 0.71. After a thorough review, multiple improvement measures have been formulated to ensure safety. In the event of a machine malfunction, the operator must first report to the supervisor and turn off the power before allowing maintenance personnel to perform repairs, to prevent injury when attempting to fix the issue independently. To avoid foot injuries from work cart wheels, it is strictly prohibited to stand in front of the cart while pulling it forward. Motorcycles should be turned off before being parked in the parking area to avoid the risk of the vehicle surging forward and causing injury. After parking, employees should walk in pedestrian pathways and avoid crossing vehicle parking zones to prevent accidental falls. Additionally, motion-sensor lights have been installed in factory stairways to prevent falls caused by poor lighting, ensuring the safety of employees during their work shifts. The work safety education, training, and publicity for employees were 916 people/2,748 hours and 915 people/2,856 hours in 2024 and 2023, respectively, in order to strengthen the awareness of work safety of employees.

In 2024, there was an incident of smoke escaping from the storeroom at the Company’s headquarters, and after the emergency evacuation of all employees, no one was injured, and the scene of the incident was immediately controlled. There were no fire cases in the remaining subsidiaries. The Company thoroughly reviewed the cause of the incident to put forward improvement measures, first of all, strengthen the control of electrical appliances and batteries and the frequency of 6S audits in the workplace, increase the number of fire education and training and escape drills, and improve the specifications of fire building materials to repair the damaged place, so as to eliminate the possibility of recurrence of the incident.
