Safe Working Environment

Employees are the key driving force behind the Company’s continuous innovation and sustainable development. Therefore, it is the Company’s responsibility to provide a safe working environment. Coretronic takes “building a safe and healthy workplace” and “zero occupational accidents” as the management goals of a safe working environment, with the aim of ensuring that all Coretronic employees and workers can perform their duties in a healthy and safe environment.
 

Occupational Safety and Health Management System

Coretronic fully institutionalizes environmental safety and health management regulations for employees and workers to follow, formulates the Occupational Safety and Health Policy, regularly reviews safety and health performance. The Company also strengthens personnel education and training and implements risk management and regular on-site inspections to ensure the safety of the work environment. In 2024, the internal and external verification scope of the occupational health and safety management system covers the number of employees and workers reported in the “Occupational Accident Management”.

In addition to implementing and introducing hazard prevention measures and related management regulations by national laws and regulations and the nature of different workplaces, the top supervisor establishes a safety and health organization and an Occupational Safety and Health Committee. Occupational safety and health personnel in each plant are responsible for the third-party certification (ISO 45001) inspection of the occupational safety and health management system. The certification passing rate of Taiwan plants, Wujiang plants, and Coretronic Projection (Kunshan)1 is 100%. Under the ISO 45001 management system, internal audits2 covered 4,030 employees and 502 non-employees, achieving a 100% audit coverage rate. External audits covered 3,937 employees and 444 non-employees, with coverage rate of 98% and 88% respectively. Taiwan plants have also simultaneously obtained the CNS 45001 certificate. It is hoped that by implementing the work plans of each management cycle, the purpose of continuous improvement can be achieved, the occurrence of occupational accidents can be reduced, and the safety and health of all employees and stakeholders can be ensured.

Occupational Safety Risk Management 

Coretronic has established hazard identification and risk assessment operation specifications, and the management unit promotes each department to regularly review and revise hazard identification and risk assessment data every year. Before manufacturing process, equipment, raw materials, and working environment are changed, hazard identification is conducted according to chemical, physical, ergonomic, biological, and other safety and health (including social and psychological) hazards, and personnel related to the implementation of hazard identification and risk assessment are required to receive at least three hours of risk assessment related training. Each department classifies different work environments, equipment or manufacturing processes, conducts job and operation inspections according to possible hazards, and cooperates with the operation process of each department to expand and fill in each operation step in the “Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Form”. Based on the severity and probability, the risk level is converted, and risk control is judged and adopted. For the higher risk hazard factors of each plant in the year, improvement plans are formulated and continuous improvement is carried out to provide employees and workers with a good work safety environment. If a major occupational accident occurs, it will be listed as a high-risk level and risk control will be carried out. In 2024, Taiwan and China plants have all completed risk assessments for various operations, with no unacceptable risks or critical risks. 

Referring to the local government occupational safety and health regulations in Taiwan and China, when there is an immediate danger in the workplace, the employer or the person in charge of the workplace needs to stop the operation and have employees evacuate to a safe place. If employees believe that the duties they perform have potential hazard risks, they can stop the operation and evacuate to a safe place on their own without endangering the safety of other workers, and immediately report to their direct supervisor. For employees who actively report and evacuate due to occupational safety hazard concerns, it is stated in the relevant operation specifications that they will not be punished.

Occupational Safety and Health Organization 

Coretronic’s Taiwan and China plants have occupational safety and health management units responsible for planning, supervising, and promoting labor safety and health related business. To smoothly promote and implement safety and health work, the PDCA management mechanism is used to continuously improve the risks of personnel, equipment, and environment, enhance employees' self-safety awareness, and jointly achieve the goal of zero accidents. 

 

Occupational Safety Consultation, Participation, and Communication

To foster a safe and comfortable environment and promote communication between labor and management, Coretronic’s Taiwan plants regularly convene “Occupational Safety and Health Committee” meetings, and China plants also regularly hold “Occupational Health Management Committee” and “Safety Regular Meetings”. The committee members are composed of supervisors at all levels, safety and health personnel, and labor representatives. Their responsibilities are to put forward suggestions on the Company’s Occupational Safety and Health Policy, and to review, coordinate, and suggest safety and health related matters. Meetings are held quarterly to jointly decide on the planning and operation of the safety and health system, and the results are announced in paper or electronic form. All employees are encouraged to put forward occupational safety related suggestions through the “Environmental, Safety and Health (ESH) Opinion Platform”, and the management unit actively assists upon receiving notification, and the suggester will not be punished; contractors communicate occupational safety issues through the annual agreement organization meeting for advocacy, consultation, and communication.
