Workplace Safety

Through the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Procedure of the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, the company identifies hazards and assesses risks for critical or high-risk tasks. Annually, prior to the management review meeting, all hazards and risk assessments within the company are periodically reviewed and confirmed. Additionally, periodic re-identification of hazards is conducted for relevant operational activities. When necessary, updates are made to serve as the basis for annual objectives and management plans, aiming to continuously improve the safety and health management system. Necessary control measures are implemented to keep risks at a tolerable level and enhance occupational safety and health performance, ultimately striving for zero accidents and ensuring employee workplace safety and health.

In order to establish a robust system for reporting and responding to major disasters and incidents, as well as to ensure that relevant units can promptly report and contact the necessary parties in the event of a major occupational accident involving port facilities, personnel, or ongoing construction projects (including sporadic projects), the Guidelines for Reporting and Responding to Major Occupational Disasters have been established. These guidelines provide a framework for reporting, emergency response, handling, and subsequent investigation and review to mitigate the impact of major occupational accidents, facilitate the swift restoration of normal workplace operations, and minimize loss. To control and achieve disaster reduction and mitigation, TIPC is implementing the following occupational safety and health management initiatives:

1. Utilizing VR (Virtual Reality) technology for sensory education and training in occupational safety and health. This allows individuals to experience the risks and hazards associated with unsafe environments or behaviors, thereby enhancing training impressions and increasing safety awareness.
2. Developing the occupational safety and health management plan for the year 2022, maintaining safety and health management goals/programs, and implementing measures to achieve occupational safety and health performance control for the company's employees and contractors.
3. Conducting occupational safety and health supervision and audits in TIPC and utilizing electronic occupational safety and health cloud systems for data analysis to identify high-risk occupational safety and health issues.
   • Unannounced inspections of high-risk operations on a quarterly basis.
   • Supervising the subsidiary branches' implementation of Guidance on Safety and Health Management for Loading and Unloading at Harbor Terminals. 
   • Establishing a project team for occupational safety and health supervision in ongoing construction projects. This team supervises the safety of construction sites and loading/unloading operations at various subsidiary branches, strengthening the occupational safety and health units and the responsible parties for ongoing construction projects. They ensure that construction contractors comply with contractual requirements and are monitored by auditing and supervisory units to prevent occupational accidents.
4. Implementing an occupational disaster prevention plan to effectively reduce operational hazards. This plan includes five execution programs: risk assessment and control, safety education and promotion, self-management capabilities, construction safety control, and performance evaluation. It aims to ensure occupational safety and health practices in the Company's units and to supervise contractors' construction safety and health management operations, while enhancing various measures for occupational accident prevention.
5. Using the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) management cycle mechanism of the occupational safety and health management system to identify potential hazards in the working environment. Through continuous improvement, risks are reduced to an acceptable level and compliance with relevant regulations is achieved, ultimately enhancing safety and health management performance.

Furthermore, hazard identification and risk assessment are conducted for the work environment, and operational environment monitoring is implemented for hazardous operations to ensure the safety of contractor operations. Additionally, the Guidance on Safety and Health Management for Loading and Unloading at Harbor Terminals has been established to ensure the safety of terminal operations and prevent safety-related hazards in port operations.

To prevent any accidents from occurring, random and unannounced coaching visits are conducted for high-risk terminals or those that have experienced accidents during loading and unloading operations to check the safety and health self management of the operations. Additionally, participation in joint coaching visits organized by the Maritime Port Bereau or local branches is periodic. Furthermore, each month, the local branch reports on the implementation of safety and health management in the inspected port terminals, and continuous rolling reviews and controls are conducted.

Occupational Injury Statistics

Notes.：

1. Death rate from occupational injuries = (number of deaths due to occupational injuries/total working hours) *1,000,000.
2. Rate of severe occupational injuries = [Number of severe occupational injuries (excluding fatalities)/Total working hours] *1,000,000.
3. Recordable occupational injury rate = [Number of recordable occupational injuries (including fatalities and serious occupational injuries)/Total working hours] *1,000,000.
4. Serious occupational injuries refer to occupational injuries that cannot be restored to a healthy state within 6 months.
5. Recordable occupational injuries do not include occupational injuries caused by commuting to and from work.
6. The employee was hit by a forklift truck, and the labor inspection unit was fined NT$120,000 for this case. When a colleague of our branch office was checking the position of goods at the sea side wall of the warehouse, he was hit by an empty truck forklift that was about to enter the warehouse for turning. The company's improvement measures are as follows: promote precautionary measures to staff, implement wearing of personal protective equipment, trial run on use of infrared-sensitive voice players for reminders at workplaces, remind staff to wear personal protective equipment while entering the workplace, improve port operation site marking, enhance hazard notification and education training for employees in the port area, etc.

Occupational Safety and Health Training

To enhance the proficiency of TIPC personnel in the Occupational Safety and Health Management System, training and education needs from various units are planned and consolidated according to the current situation and requirements. An annual training plan is implemented, with a focus on relevant units and colleagues within the company. When necessary, consideration is given to stakeholders such as port authorities, private enterprises, external stakeholders, and contractors. This includes both in-house training and external training, with sessions conducted by professional instructors. The company conducts general occupational safety and health education training for new employees in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Education and Training Regulations, achieving a coverage rate of 100% in 2023. For more information on occupational safety and healthrelated training in 2023, please refer to Appendix Three: Friendly Interaction Information.

Employee Health Management

To implement the workplace health policy for its employees, the company has established the Employee Health Management Procedure and Employee Health Service Plan. Each year, funds are allocated for health check-ups, which are provided to employees free of charge. The scope and frequency of these checkups exceed current legal requirements, demonstrating the company's commitment to caring for employee health. Additionally, a Health Management Service Center is established, staffed with nurses specializing in occupational health services, offering employees timely access to professional health advice and assistance.

Health Promotion

TIPC plans annual health check-ups, management, and promotion activities for its employees. It formulates an Employee Health Service Plan and implements five major health protection plans, including those for human factors, illegal acts, excessive workloads, workplace maternity, and middle-aged and elderly workers. The company also employs dedicated occupational health nurses to conduct regular or periodic health assessments, health management, and tracking for employees. Specialized occupational medicine physicians and on-site health service doctors from medical institutions are engaged to provide on-site health consultation services to employees. Additionally, the company has established the Occupational Safety and Health Management Regulation for Contractors to ensure that contractors employ insured workers and implement health check-ups (physical examinations or on-the-job health examinations). Access control data is recorded and monitored for the implementation of health management and health promotion. In 2023, there were no occupational disease incidents among the company's employees and non-employee workers (contractors) (Note: Occupational diseases are defined according to the Labor Health Protection Regulations).

• Health Check-ups and Health Consultation:
  To take care of the employees of TIPC, regular general health check-ups and special operation health check-ups (for noise, dust, abnormal air pressure, and long-term night shifts) are conducted annually, surpassing regulatory requirements. Based on the health check-up report results, dedicated occupational health service physicians are arranged to provide 1-on-1 consultation and health tracking services, as well as care. The service employee health checks was 98.1%, with 1,071 individuals participating out of 1,092 scheduled individuals. Those who did not participate were adjusted to the next year's implementation due to personal reasons.

• The company designs various health promotion programs annually targeting different potential health issues among employees, such as obesity, aging, and sedentary lifestyles. These programs include activities like leadership summit challenge, employee expeditions to Yushan, weight loss courses, vegetarian lifestyle dietary courses, aerobic exercises, gym experiences, and mountain climbing training.
