A total of 17 units of TSC, including the

Health Management System and passed the verification and obtained certificate
in accordance with Article 23 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act where
the scale of business entities in the preceding paragraph reaches or exceeds a
certain level or have workplaces as stipulated in Article 15 Paragraph 1.
The total number of employees was 3,272
(including self-employed, temporary, and part-time personnel), and the total
number of non-employees was 3,130 (including non-permanent dispatched workers),
accounting for 100% of the workforce. (Calculated based on the average monthly
number of employees for the applicable year.)
In
order to integrate matters regarding occupational safety and health management
and improve performance in occupational safety management, the “TSC
Occupational Safety and Health Management Information System” was established
to manage occupational safety online. In addition to sharing information and
saving data online, it also accelerates data transmission and simplifies the
procedures. Furthermore, it aims to reduce paper usage for environmental
conservation and establishes a communication channel with employees to improve
workplace safety and health.
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
The
head of each unit assigns personnel for “hazard identification and
risk/opportunity assessment operations” for the relevant education and training
organized by Occupational Safety and Health Department for 3 hours and more,
and such personnel will be responsible for hazard identification and
risk/opportunity assessment operations within the unit. Every September, it is
necessary for them to confirm the hazard identification and risk/opportunity
assessment operations online at the “TSC Occupational Safety and Health
Management Information System” and publicize the hazards in the workplace and
preventive measures. Hazard identification and risk/opportunity assessment are
conducted using a matrix analysis based on the formula: Operational Exposure
Frequency × Probability of Occurrence = Risk Possibility. The risks are then
categorized into six levels of control. Moreover, when any of the following
situations occurs, hazard identification and hazard evaluation of relevant
operations have to be re-implemented.
1.
When the standard provisions of
Taiwan Occupational Safety and Health Management System (TOSHMS) are revised.
2.
When the new processes, change
of processes, new equipment, change of raw materials, or changes of operating
environment conditions (including the development of target plans before taking
the non-conforming corrective measures) will obviously affect the case of the
risk, hazard identification and risk/opportunity assessment shall be conducted
before the changes start.
3.
When an unexpected incident
happens.
4.
When a regulatory change is
sufficient to affect the risk scores.
5.
When there are more than 3 false
alarms of the same nature or in the same area.
6.
When it is strongly requested by
the stakeholders.
7.
When major deficiencies are
found in the inspection or audit.
The
head of each department should also establish corresponding control measures
based on the results of the hazard identification and risk assessment (risk
level). Occupational Safety and Health Department also visits the workplace
from time to time to discover potential hazards, make suggestions, propose
improvement measures, and organize the List of Unacceptable Risks.
Guidance and Inspection of Industrial Safety
In order to implement the management of
industrial safety and strengthen the inspection of industrial safety, the
annual" Industrial Safety Inspection Plan" is established according
to the nature of business. Items to be improved are proposed and tracked until
they are improved to ensure the safety of factory sites, business sites and
workplaces and prevent disasters from happening so as to improve occupational
safety and health management performance. In addition, through the walking
management of high-level executives, high-level executives at all levels will
be sent to each unit for guidance and inspections from time to time.
