Measures for protecting work environment and employee safety
In order to provide a safe and healthy work environment for employees, the company continuously reminds and promotes ways to reduce the probability of occupational accidents. The protection measures for various operations are as follows:
1.Significant Environmental Considerations and Occupational Health and Safety Risk Control
| Reference Number | Job Responsibilities | Category | Current Situation Explanation | Measures Taken / Implementation Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Environmental Consideration | Waste Management | The recycling equipment for cut materials often leads to environmental pollution due to improper handling during the collection process, resulting in scattered materials. | A solution has been implemented by redesigning and installing new recycling bins to prevent the scattering of recyclable waste caused by human error during operations. |
| 2 | Environmental Consideration | Waste Management | Reduced the average monthly waste transportation weight from 1.6 tons to 1.3 tons to improve waste management and decrease environmental impact. | Implement effective waste sorting and reduce the generation of household waste. |
| 3 | Safety and Health | Public Fire Safety | Due to frequent incidents of warehouse and factory fires within the jurisdiction of Taoyuan City, the excessive fire load has hindered firefighting teams from effectively entering for rescue operations, resulting in significant risks to nearby facilities. | The factory building is equipped with a smoke exhaust system, and in case of a fire alarm, the smoke exhaust equipment is automatically activated to ensure that in the event of a real fire situation, the elevated temperature caused by thick smoke will not hinder firefighting efforts. |
| 4 | Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction. | Energy Consumption and Green Environmental Protection. | Energy Consumption of Air Compressors and Artificial Lighting | Implementation of Air Compressor Energy Saving Improvement Project and Factory Roof Natural Lighting Scheme |
2.Other Measures
