Risk Assessment and Management Mechanisms

The Company assesses high-risk operations in accordance with the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Procedure established under its ISO 45001 Occupational Safety and Health Management System. Improvement measures are developed to address identified risks and submitted for review at management review meetings. Relevant actions are incorporated into annual objectives and management plans, with continuous improvement promoted through the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle to strengthen occupational safety and health management.

P(Plan)

D(Do)

C(Check)

A(Act)

  1. Establish an occupational safety and health policy.
  2. Identify occupational safety and health hazards associated with the Company’s past, current, and planned activities and services, and assess the resulting significant occupational safety and health risks.
  3. Identify applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
  4. Determine priorities and establish appropriate occupational safety and health objectives.
  5. Establish a framework and implementation plan to carry out the policy and achieve the objectives.

occupational safety and health policy requirements
and maintain the effectiveness and continued
suitability of the occupational safety and health
management system.
Make adjustments
as necessary in
response to changes
in circumstances and
relevant information.
(1) Regulation Identification
Regular assessments Unscheduled assessments
Prior to the annual management review meeting, all hazard identification and risk assessment results are reviewed and updated as necessary to provide a basis for establishing annual objectives and management plans, thereby supporting the continuous improvement of the occupational safety and health management system. If any of the following circumstances arise, hazard identification and risk assessment must be conducted again for the relevant operations:
  • Initial establishment or revision of standards
  • Changes in operational procedures, equipment, environment, or personnel or personnel
  • Major accident incidences
  • Regulatory changes affecting risk scores
  • Incidents requiring preventive measures following assessment
  • Significant gaps identified during audits
(2) Significant Risk Determination and Risk Management

Risk levels are assessed in accordance with the “Risk Level Assessment Scoring Criteria,” under which exposure frequency, likelihood of occurrence, and severity of consequences are quantitatively assessed. The resulting risk level is then determined through cross-analysis using the “Risk Matrix.”
The Risk Level Assessment Scoring Criteria are reviewed or revised every three years based on the “Risk Matrix.” Countermeasures are implemented in accordance with the “Risk Level Scoring Criteria and Countermeasures,” with approved response measures corresponding to each risk level. For management plans requiring improvement, a comparison table of occupational safety and health objectives and management plans is prepared as a basis for implementation. Improvements to the management plans are carried out in accordance with the “Occupational Safety and Health Objectives and Planning Management Procedures.”

(3) Incident Investigation and Safety Training

The Company has commissioned an occupational safety and health management system consulting firm to provide training on topics such as hazard identification, risk assessment, and incident investigation. Employees from all departments are required to participate in the training, which includes lectures, practical exercises, and post-training competency assessments. Upon completion of the training, participants serve as contact persons and seed personnel for their respective departments, helping ensure that personnel responsible for implementation possess the necessary competencies.
In 2025, no major occupational safety incidents occurred; therefore, no incident investigations were required. Nevertheless, occupational safety and health management measures continued to be implemented in accordance with the “Occupational Health and Safety Corrective and Preventive Action Management Procedure.”
These measures included identifying nonconformities through internal and external audits and near-miss reporting. The responsible units promptly conducted root cause analyses and implemented corrective and preventive actions. The effectiveness of these improvements was verified, and the results were incorporated into the annual management review and record-keeping processes to support continuous improvement and strengthen risk control mechanisms in management practices.

(4) Safety Notification and Communication Mechanism

The Company has established multiple occupational safety and health communication channels to ensure that employees and external workers are informed of the Company’s occupational safety and health policies and related requirements. Information is communicated through awareness sessions, training programs, notices, and the Company’s website. Employees and their representatives may provide suggestions or request consultation on occupational safety and health matters. Such matters are consolidated by the Occupational Safety and Health Department and referred to the responsible units for follow-up action. Where necessary, issues are submitted to the Occupational Safety and Health Committee for discussion. When changes that may affect workplace safety and health are planned, relevant employees are consulted in advance, and the consultation process is documented. Employees who have reasonable grounds to believe that there is an imminent and serious danger to their life or health have the right to remove themselves from the workplace without fear of retaliation or other adverse consequences.

Education and Training

To strengthen safety awareness and personal health management capabilities, TIPC conducts various education and training programs and awareness activities focused on workplace safety and health promotion.
Each department develops an annual education and training plan based on its specific needs, with courses encompassing both internal training and external professional training. TIPC also provides guidance to its branches, contractors, and port cargo-handling operators to independently implement workplace safety and health management measures. Where appropriate, relevant stakeholders are also included in education and training activities to enhance overall occupational safety and health knowledge and foster a strong safety culture.

The Company develops annual occupational safety and health training and awareness plans based on the operational needs of individual departments. Training programs are primarily provided to employees and relevant business units through a combination of regular in-house training and external professional development programs delivered by qualified professionals and subject-matter experts. Where appropriate, participation is extended to public- and private-sector port operators, stakeholder groups, and contractors operating within port areas to promote the sharing of occupational safety and health knowledge and strengthen safety awareness and competencies across the port community.

Internal training

General and specialized occupational safety and health education and training; health seminars; occupational safety and health internal auditor training; regulatory requirements identification training; hazard identification and risk assessment training; and occupational safety and health education and training for personnel engaged in relevant operations.

External Training

Depending on the requirements of the competent authority or the operational needs of each unit.

Occupational Injuries and Occupational Diseases

In accordance with the communication, participation, consultation, and awareness requirements of the Company’s ISO 45001 Occupational Safety and Health Management System, occupational safety and health communication encompasses all employees internally and extends externally to suppliers, contractors, customers, and other relevant stakeholder groups. However, in accordance with applicable occupational safety and health regulations, the scope of the Company’s occupational safety and health management and reporting is limited to employees and other workers under the Company’s direction and control, such as interns and part-time workers.Note.
Note: Suppliers, contractors, customers, and other relevant stakeholder groups are included within the scope of occupational safety and health communication but are not subject to the Company's occupational safety and health management system.
In 2025, no recordable occupational injuries occurred among employees or non-employee workers. The numbers of recordable occupational injuries, work-related fatalities, and severe occupational injuries were all zero. In addition, no recordable cases of occupational disease or occupational disease-related fatalities were reported during the year among employees or non-employee workers, including contractors.

Chiayi County Government and TIPC Establish Occupational Safety and Health Family to Safeguard Workplace Safety

To enhance workplace safety and improve working conditions, the Chiayi County Government partnered with Taiwan International Ports Corporation (TIPC) to establish the Taiwan Port Cluster–Budai Port Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Family. The initiative aims to strengthen safety management practices in the maritime and port industry and reduce occupational accidents and injuries. The Budai Port OSH Family is led by the Budai District Office of TIPC’s Kaohsiung Branch, which serves as the core enterprise. Together with 19 participating enterprises, the Budai District Office signed an Occupational Safety and Health Commitment Charter, pledging to comply with applicable regulations, fulfill corporate responsibilities, and reduce occupational hazards. Through these collaborative efforts, participating organizations seek to foster a safe and healthy working environment and safeguard workers’ health and safety.

TIPC Completes Comprehensive Occupational Safety and Health Review of Construction Projects Across Seven Major Port Areas

In 2025, TIPC completed its Comprehensive Life-Cycle Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Review of Port Construction Projects, marking another important milestone in safety management across Taiwan’s seven international commercial ports. As part of its ongoing efforts to provide a safe and reliable working environment for employees, port users, and shipping operators, TIPC engaged an independent professional consulting team to conduct comprehensive assessments of occupational safety and health management practices for ongoing construction projects at all seven international commercial ports. From an objective third-party perspective, the review covered key aspects of safety management throughout the project life cycle, including documentation, risk assessment, site supervision, and contractor management. The review identified areas requiring further attention, and the consulting team provided a range of recommendations to enhance construction safety performance and management quality across port areas. The implementation of a life-cycle OSH review for construction projects not only helps verify the effectiveness of safety management practices but also demonstrates TIPC’s commitment to fostering a strong safety culture throughout Taiwan’s port system. Looking ahead, the Company will continue to strengthen project risk management, personnel training, and the application of innovative technologies, with the goal of building a resilient port network guided by the vision of “Resilient Engineering and Technology-Driven Risk Reduction.”

Employee Health Management

To achieve its health policy goal of “zero occupational diseases,” TIPC has established the “Employee Health Management Procedures” and an “Employee Health Service Plan.” The plan covers all Company employees, with an annual budget allocated to provide employees with free health examinations. The scope and frequency of these examinations exceed applicable legal requirements, demonstrating TIPC’s commitment to safeguarding employee health and well-being.

Employee Health Services Project

Employee Health Services Project

The Company’s occupational safety and health units are staffed with dedicated occupational health nurses and provide 24-hour remote medical consultation services. In addition to regular health examinations and special health examinations for employees engaged in specific types of work (e.g., work involving exposure to noise, dust, abnormal atmospheric pressure, and long-term night shifts), the Company provides one-on-one health consultations and follow-up care by occupational health physicians based on employees’ health examination results. Relevant health information is incorporated into the Company’s Health Management Information System for health risk classification and management, enabling appropriate health promotion and follow-up measures to be implemented.
