Occupational Accident Prevention

We analyzed the cause of incidents and formulated prevention plans based on investigation results for parallel implementation. We assess and control risks through JSA and PHA to discover potential hazards and implement controls in advance, thereby ensuring employee safety and health.

Findings from analyzing the 2 accidents involving employees are as follows: The main cause of employee accidents was insufficient safety awareness and deficiencies in standard operating procedures. Based on annual analysis results, our primary goal in 2023 is to "Reexamine standard operating procedures – Standards for wearing PPE when handling abnormalities."

As for the prevention of occupational accidents involving contractors, our primary goal is for "labor safety personnel and supervisors of contractors to conduct self-inspections, and related management personnel (supervisor, construction safety personnel, safety supervisors, and construction supervisors) to maintain safety standards before, during, and after operations."

Handling and Follow-up of Occupational Accidents

Besides following regulatory procedures when handling occupational accidents, we utilize objective, professional investigation procedures to find the true cause of accidents and blind spots in management, so as to make thorough improvements.

The Company's health manager, department heads, dedicated personnel for providing employee guidance, and cooperating psychologists and physicians provide healthcare, consultation, and reinstatement evaluation based on the physical and psychological condition of personnel.

Traffic Accident Prevention

The majority of employee work hours lost was due to "traffic accidents during commute." Employees were involved in a total of 27 traffic accidents in 2022, and the number of days lost was 418 days. After analysis, the other party was responsible in the majority of traffic accidents. Hence, we periodically announce traffic accident hotspots in Mailiao Township in the previous year, edit promotional clips each quarter, provide defensive driving training, and use video to raise employees' safety awareness. We encourage employees to actively report roads with insufficient lighting or poor road conditions in plant areas, in order to improve traffic safety in plant areas. For employees who regularly clock in five minutes before work, their department head will talk with them and advise them to leave home early, in order to avoid rushing to work. We reward departments with excellent traffic accident prevention performance, in hopes that the collective efforts of all employees will continue to lower the rate of traffic accidents.
