Health and Safety Management
To prevent employees from potential health or safety hazards, the company is dedicated to creating a safe and healthy workplace. During the onboarding process and ongoing training, employees are informed that “when they discover an immediate danger while performing their duties, they may stop work and retreat to a safe location, provided it does not endanger the safety of other workers.” The company has also established a reporting process for occupational hazards and dangerous situations, allowing employees to immediately report to their direct supervisors.
To ensure the comprehensive well-being of all employees, AcBel aims to create a “Five Zero” healthy and safe workplace environment: “zero discrimination,” “zero bullying,” “zero occupational injuries,” “zero disasters,” and “zero pollution.” The execution strategy includes five key areas: “health management and promotion,” “disaster prevention and response,” “occupational safety and health risk management,” “occupational safety and health education and training,” and “occupational disease prevention,” all aimed at creating a safe working environment.
Four Major Protection Project for Labor Health
AcBel uses the “Four Major Health Prevention Plans” to develop corresponding measures to reduce workplace risks, ensuring the safety, health, and well-being of employees, and creating a work environment that promotes physical and mental health.
Environmental Training Promotion and Safety Awareness
To enhance employees’ awareness of environmental safety and ensure that workers understand the hazards in the workplace and learn appropriate response measures, the company conducts training programs aimed at reducing or eliminating the occurrence of hazardous incidents. To date, no cases of occupational diseases have been reported among employees in special or high-risk positions at any production site.
Regarding occupational safety training and certification, AcBel conducts personnel recertification and certification training in accordance with local laws to ensure employees have sufficient knowledge and ability to handle occupational safety issues, thereby reducing potential risks and occupational hazards. When new employees join, the company provides both in-person and online training courses, which must be completed within a specified time frame. For current employees, training is conducted in stricter compliance with regulatory standards, including emergency response drills. For positions requiring certification by law, the company regularly reviews the qualifications and arranges recertification to ensure the validity of the certificates.
In 2023, AcBel’s production sites conducted two annual full-scale fire drills and one emergency personnel training session. Additionally, the company held occupational safety and health education training sessions, with a total of 150,992 participants and 47,840 training hours.
Occupational Safety and Health Committee
In compliance with Taiwanese regulations and the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System framework, AcBel has established an “Occupational Safety and Health Committee,” consisting of representatives from both labor and management, including occupational safety and health management personnel. Other production sites follow this model, establishing similar committees that exceed local legal requirements.
In 2023, the Taiwan plant held four safety and health committee meetings and one environmental safety and health system management review meeting. A total of 98 occupational safety issues were raised, 869 risk identifications and assessments were conducted, 2 target objectives were achieved, 1 proposal for improvement was made, and 3 new target objectives for 2024 were established, continuously optimizing the workplace environment.
In 2023, there were no fatal occupational injuries or occupational disease incidents at any of AcBel’s production sites. However, in Taiwan, there were 7 work-related injury incidents due to commuting accidents. All workplace injury incidents were reported through formal channels to the respective Occupational Safety and Health units at each site. These units carried out post-incident handling and developed improvement measures. Safety awareness campaigns and training were conducted to reduce the likelihood of such incidents recurring.
