二、Occupational Health and Safety Management

ChunYu Company has obtained ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System certification and is gradually implementing safety and health management work following the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle. The aim is to ensure the safety and health of employees in the workplace and to provide a good safety and health working environment through hazard identification, risk assessment, and control measures, along with external verification, thereby preventing accidents. During the repair of factory equipment, the safety unit is required to conduct safety awareness promotions and perform risk assessments simultaneously, strictly requiring contractors to comply with occupational safety and health regulations during the construction process. The company conducts unannounced inspections at various construction sites to prevent accidents and protect employee safety.

Under the framework of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System, the company establishes relevant management procedures that comply with regulatory standards and the requirements of the occupational health and safety management system to promote the operation of the ISO 45001 management system. To maintain the applicability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the occupational health and safety management system, the company has established an "Occupational Safety and Health Committee," composed of both management and labor representatives, with labor representatives holding more than one-third of the seats. The general manager serves as the chairperson. The Occupational Safety and Health Committee meets regularly every three months to provide suggestions on the safety and health policies proposed by the company and to review, coordinate, and advise on safety and health-related matters. An annual management review meeting is also held to review and communicate the performance evaluation report of the management system, with the goal of ensuring the health and safety of all employees and creating a zero-accident work environment. The following are key points regarding the management procedures established for ISO 45001:
1. Hazard Identification and Risk and Opportunity Assessment
Through continuous identification of safety and health hazards and assessment of risks and opportunities, appropriate preventive measures or improvement plans are implemented to avoid jeopardizing the safety and health of personnel within the facility due to operations, activities, services, or facilities, or to prevent losses to company property.
2. Compliance Assessment
Continuous regular reviews are conducted, and timely actions are taken to ensure that the safety and health management practices comply with the latest legal requirements.
3.Change Management
When changes are about to occur in the work environment, a preemptive change management review is conducted to identify potential operational hazards and environmental impacts in advance. This aims to implement preventive measures proactively to reduce the occurrence of occupational accidents and diseases.
4. Procurement Management
To achieve source control of safety and health, measures are taken to ensure that machinery, equipment, and raw materials purchased for the facility comply with occupational safety and health regulations. Safety and health regulations for procurement management are established, and supplier evaluations are conducted regularly.
5. Contractor Management
To prevent occupational accidents from occurring in the workplace during the period of contracted labor services, the company has established contractor management procedures and control measures in accordance with the requirements of occupational safety and health regulations. These measures are designed to protect the safety and health of both employees and contractors working within the facility.
6. Outsourcing Management
The company ensures that the raw materials provided to outsourcing vendors comply with occupational safety and health regulations, in order to prevent exposure of the outsourcing vendor's employees to safety and health hazards during the product outsourcing process due to raw material issues.
7. Supervision, Measurement, Analysis, and Performance Evaluation Management Procedures
To continuously improve the work environment and provide employees with a safer and healthier workplace, the company commissions third-party impartial organizations to regularly conduct safety and health measurements and supervision. This serves as the basis for hazard identification and the effectiveness of proposed improvement plans. Additionally, through daily self-inspections, the company aims to reduce the occurrence of occupational accidents and diseases.
8. Emergency Response Management
The company has established relevant procedures for emergency response and provides employees with disaster prevention-related education and training to prepare for and respond to various unexpected emergency situations.
