Occupational Safety and Health

Occupational Safety and Health Management

Etron Technology has passed and effectively operates the Occupational Safety and Health Management System (ISO 45001:2018), and has established an Occupational Safety and Health Committee to coordinate and promote various safety and health management initiatives. The committee is chaired by the Occupational Safety and Health Management Representative and includes one executive secretary. Committee members consist of department supervisors, safety personnel, engineering technicians, plant medical personnel, and worker representatives, with worker representation exceeding one-third as required by law. The committee convenes quarterly to review and evaluate occupational injury investigations, workplace environment monitoring, and health management measures, continuously strengthening safety and health performance and fostering a safe and healthy work environment.

Implementation Measures

Safety and Health Training

Etron Technology values the cultivation of a strong safety culture and provides diversified occupational safety and health training programs, including general safety and health education for new hires and current employees, hazard communication, fire safety training, emergency response drills, as well as specialized certification training (such as safety personnel, first aid responders, organic solvent supervisors, confined space supervisors, high-pressure gas equipment operators, and small boiler operators) and health promotion courses. In addition, contractors are informed of hazards and provided safety briefings to strengthen awareness and reduce occupational risks.

In 2024, a total of 342 participants attended occupational safety training, accumulating 420.5 training hours.

Workplace Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

Etron Technology has established a hazard identification management procedure to ensure effective implementation of hazard identification and risk assessment. Department heads identify and register potential safety and health hazards associated with company activities, facilities, processes, and services (including suppliers and contractors), and describe energy use, raw materials, machinery and equipment, risk sources (unsafe behaviors and conditions), and external factors affecting worker health and safety. The process evaluates risks from both routine operations and operational changes. High-risk items are approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Management Representative and incorporated into safety and health objectives, implemented by responsible units, and tracked quarterly by the Occupational Safety and Health Committee.

The company primarily engages in office-based operations, and the potential occupational disease is overwork. In addition, Etron has established an incident reporting and investigation procedure to ensure proper management of incidents, including the documentation of near misses and policies enabling workers to leave situations they believe may cause injury or illness. When occupational incidents occur, reporting and corrective actions are executed per regulations. Investigation reports are submitted to the committee and announced on the company intranet. The Occupational Safety and Health Committee reviews improvement effectiveness quarterly.

Emergency Response Measures

Etron Technology has established an emergency response plan, formed an emergency response command center, and organized emergency response teams. In the event of an emergency, the response team carries out emergency actions. Drill results show all teams successfully completed tasks such as fire extinguishing, first aid, evacuation guidance, and emergency evacuation. New employees receive emergency response education and fire drills every six months. Through simulation exercises, employees develop emergency response and safety management capabilities, enabling timely actions before a crisis escalates. Employees also receive training from the fire department on fire escape and first aid.
In 2024, Etron conducted emergency response drills in accordance with the emergency response plan, including on-site command, communication, rescue notification, evacuation guidance, and safety personnel coordination. The drills help ensure employees can respond quickly during emergencies to reduce injuries and environmental impacts.

Healthy Workplace

In response to social and economic changes, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) advocate for workers’ fundamental right to access workplace safety and health services. Etron Technology aligns with these principles and relevant regulations, proactively planning and implementing workplace health management measures across three key areas: health services, health education, and healthy work environment. The company regularly conducts disease prevention campaigns, health promotion activities, hygiene seminars, preventive health consultations, and health checkups, providing risk assessment, management, and improvement recommendations to employees, ensuring workplace health risks are managed and promoting employee well-being.

To strengthen the workplace health service system and protect physical and mental well-being, Etron Technology systematically promotes health knowledge campaigns and creates a health-friendly, sustainable work environment. Employees are encouraged to adopt positive health practices, maintain mind-body balance, and integrate health management into daily life, achieving holistic work-life well-being.

In alignment with the National Health Agency’s healthy diet policy, the company provides low-fat, low-salt meals to reduce chronic disease risk. The 2024 employee satisfaction survey indicated broad support for these measures. Moving forward, the company will continue to optimize healthy meal programs, leveraging dietary management to promote cardiovascular health and contribute to workplace health and ESG objectives.

Employee Health Checkup

Regarding maternal health protection, abnormal workload, and human factor hazard prevention, a total of 534 assessments were conducted in 2024, among which 14 cases of abnormal workload were classified as medium risk. The remaining areas had no medium or high-risk cases. For medium-risk employees, the occupational health team provided follow-up care and arranged on-site physicians for consultation and evaluation, adjusting work arrangements to mitigate health risks.

The company conducts annual occupational health checkups, implementing risk-based classification for key items and providing personalized health guidance, disease prevention education, and follow-up assessments. In 2024, 276 employees completed health checkups, all meeting statutory check frequency requirements, and no cases of occupational disease or suspected occupational disease were found, demonstrating robust employee health risk management and compliance.

Additionally, the company provides healthy meals, exercise facilities, and actively organizes health promotion programs. It has been evaluated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and awarded the Healthy Promotion Certification Mark (2025–2027), reflecting the company’s ESG commitment to employee well-being and health management practices.
