TIPC Occupational Safety and Health Organization

Workplace Safety

Risk Assessment and Management Mechanisms

Pursuant to the 'Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Procedure' of the company's ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, hazard identification and risk assessment are conducted for critical operations or work with higher potential hazards. In 2024, following hazard identification and risk assessment, fall risk among subcontractors was identified as the primary hazard type. To reduce the occurrence of falls, five high-risk disaster management workshops were conducted. Through thematic discussions, nine improvement measures were developed, including the introduction of technological risk prevention and establishment of the 'Occupational Safety and Health Cloud' inspection software, which were submitted for review at the annual management review meeting. The effectiveness of all hazard and risk assessment control measures was confirmed, serving as the basis for annual goals and management plans. This aims to continuously improve the occupational safety and health management system, implement necessary control methods, and maintain risks at an acceptable level, thereby enhancing occupational safety and health performance and striving for a safe, accident-free environment.

Safety of Port Operations

To secure port area operations, our company employs traffic flow design and port area signage to reduce potential hazards during port and service operations. During 2024, we complied with all relevant regulations and did not violate any laws or regulations related to product and service information and signage or marketing and communication. Specific measures are as follows:

Education and Training

With the aim of enhancing employees' occupational safety and health knowledge and skills, the Port Authority has been conducting various educational training programs and promotional activities focusing on 'workplace safety' and 'health promotion' to reinforce safety awareness and personal health management capabilities. The company also encourages employees to promote a workplace safety culture through care, communication, and safety observation behaviors. It guides subsidiaries, contractors, and port cargo handling operators to jointly improve occupational safety and health management standards, fostering a safety culture that respects life and demonstrating a commitment to sustainable operations.

Each department shall compile an annual education and training plan based on actual needs, with the primary target audience being our company's employees. As appropriate, public and private sector operators in the port area and stakeholders may also be included. Courses include both internal and external trainings, all of which are conducted by instructors with professional qualifications. For details on the education and training activities conducted in 2024, detailed information is provided in the "Occupational Safety and Health Training." section under " Sustainability Information Disclosure-Friendly Interactive Information" on the TIPC Sustainability website.

Employee Health Management

To implement the health policy goal of 'zero occupational diseases', TIPC has established 'Employee Health Management Procedures' and an 'Employee Health Service Plan'. This plan covers all employees within the company, and health checkup expenses are allocated annually to provide employees with free health checkups. The scope and frequency of these check-ups exceed current legal requirements, demonstrating the company's commitment to caring for employee health.

Employee Health Services Project

All occupational safety and health units within TIPC have dedicated health care personnel responsible for employee health assessments, management, and follow-up. They plan and implement annual health service programs. Assessment content covers ergonomic hazards, unlawful assault, prevention of abnormal workloads, maternal protection, and the health of middle-aged and elderly employees. The company conducts regular general and special occupational health examinations annually (including noise, dust, abnormal air pressure, and long-term night shifts) and has established a Health Management Service Center, where professional nurses provide health consultations. Additionally, the company has specially appointed occupational medicine specialists and on-site physicians to offer one-on-one consultations and follow-ups. Health examination data is uniformly imported into the 'Health Management Information System' for risk grading and management. Recent participation rates in health examinations are as follows: 1,001 people in 2022 (participation rate of 97.18%), 1,071 people in 2023 (98.1%), and 1,031 people in 2024 (99.22%). A total of 8 people did not get examined, with 3 due to physical reasons and 5 due to personal factors. Both the participation rate and the quality of health management have remained high. For details on the number of employees who received health checkups and the associated costs in 2024, detailed information is provided in the "Employee Health Checkups." section under "Sustainability Information Disclosure-Friendly Interactive Information" on the TIPC Sustainability website.
