In order to protect the safety and health of employees and to provide a safe and healthy workplace, Taishin actively introduced the international standard ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management system, and implemented it in all workplaces with 11,489 employees and contractors. The coverage ratio of the system reached 100%. In addition, the Neihu Building of Taishin Bank was the first to pass the third-party verification of the British Standard Institution (BSI) in May 2020. The number of people who participated in the 2022 internal audit and external verification reached 1,830, with a coverage rate of 15.93%, implementing the promotion of occupational health and safety management system. During the system introduction process, the program documents of ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 were also integrated simultaneously. Through the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) framework, by systematic management mechanisms such as hazard identification and risk assessment, regulatory review, internal audit, management review, and safety and health correction operations, based on the spirit of “conscientiousness and sustainability” and the “people-oriented” concept, establishing an essentially safe and healthy work environment.

In order to protect the health and safety of employees, Taishin is committed to providing a hazard-free workplace. Occupational safety personnel and on-site medical staff regularly conduct environmental risk assessment and hazard identification in the workplace. The Company passed the ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management system verification in 2020 and continued to pass the third-party re-verifications from 2021 to 2022, ensuring the continuous and effective operation of the system within the validity period of the certificate; the renewal of the ISO 45001 certificate is scheduled to be completed in 2023. Regarding the assessment of health risks, we generate a Taishin health risk matrix every year based on the results of health examinations, Framingham cardiovascular disease risk assessment, and the implementation of the hazard identification of the four major plans for labor health protection (abnormal workload, ergonomics, maternity, and illegal infringement).

According to the health risk matrix, medium-high-risk factors include cardiovascular diseases, fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and poor vision. Other health risk factors were classified as medium-low risks. Taishin has formulated different mitigation measures based on the risk values for voluntary management and active tracing to protect employees from health hazards at the workplace.The four major plans for workplace health protection have been fully implemented. When on-site physicians serve, high-risk groups are given priority for consultation, followed by those with health examination reports or recent health-related issues.

According to the health risk matrix, professional lecturers in various fields are invited to provide health education and experience sharing, and conduct a series of health promotion or soft courses, covering topics such as pandemic prevention courses, psychological relief, exercise, diet, and maternal health. The results of mitigation measures for health risk issues are as follows:

In order to prevent occupational accidents and maintain the safety and health of workers in the workplace, in 2022, employees were sent to participate in the on-the-job education and training for first-aid personnel organized by the Bankers Association of the Republic of China, so as to improve the professional knowledge of first-aid personnel and familiarize them with first-aid skills. In addition to regularly participating in on-the-job education and training, the company also actively sends employees to participate in certification courses for personnel such as fire management personnel, first-aid personnel, and occupational health and safety business supervisors, so as to enhance employees’ safety and health knowledge and implement a corporate culture that promotes workplace safety and health among all employees.
