　　TSC classifies risks based on the contents of the equipment and operating conditions, formulates the procedures of equipment safety management and plans a plant maintenance and service system based on critical levels. Detailed inspections are planned for dangerous equipment to ensure safe operation of the equipment. During the use of dangerous equipment, automatic inspections, key inspections, operating inspections shall be carried out according to laws. In addition, regular inspections shall be carried out by labor inspection agencies within the statutory period.

　　For hazardous gas and chemical supply systems, toxic gas monitoring systems, process exhaust gas treatment systems, there are regular inspections and maintenance procedures in place. In the area of equipment, safety management methods are proposed in response to the safety needs of people, incidents, places and objects and they are controlled by standard operating procedures.

　　The Key Points for Maintenance and Reporting of Fire Safety Equipment” was formulated, and all fire-fighting equipment is regularly inspected to ensure it remains in a standby state at all times. Each unit follows Article 13 of the Fire Service Act and develops a fire protection plan to prevent fire, earthquake and other disasters to ensure the safety of human lives. In addition, we also established the self-defense fire brigades, organize the education and training on disaster preparedness (including reporting, putting out fire, evacuation guidance, safety protection, and first aid courses), implement earthquake preparedness measures, manage fire prevention during construction, establish emergency contact numbers, and plan evacuation routes.
