Proactive training for prevention

WT upholds the core philosophy of “protecting employees and preventing hazards.” In 2024, the proportion of employees who underwent risk assessment across the entire group was 30.6%, including 1,249 employees from WT Taiwan Headquarters and 1,187 employees from Future Electronics’ EMEA region.

In Taiwan, we implement an occupational safety and health system in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act, appointing dedicated occupational safety and health management personnel, fire safety managers, and first-aid providers.

Furthermore, we’ve legally established an Occupational Safety and Health Committee, comprising occupational safety and health management personnel, departmental managers, supervisors, technical engineers related to occupational safety and health, medical personnel providing labor health services, and labor representatives, with employee representation at 30%. In 2024, the committee convened four times. We also adopt a PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) goal management process to regularly analyze potential dangers and hazards in the work environment, taking preventive measures against hazard types that may arise during operational procedures.

Prevention and management: Comprehensive safety measures

WT not only complies with the local fire safety regulations of each operating site but also tailors safety countermeasures to different work models in various locations, establishing comprehensive protective facilities. Our fire prevention management includes inspecting fire sources, evacuation facilities, and fire safety equipment. We regularly test, maintain, and service safety equipment and conduct fire drills to prevent incidents.

Rigorous evaluation: Activation only upon safety compliance

Before commencing any construction projects, WT conducts a complete safety assessment, requiring the signing of a safety and health commitment letter. We also plan escape route guides, fire suppression systems, monitoring equipment, and integrated fire and security systems. Only when all aspects comply with regulations upon completion is a usage permit granted.

No work-related accidents for 4 consecutive years as protecting employees and preventing hazards are the highest principles

WT adheres to the occupational safety and health (OSH) policy of “protecting employees and preventing hazards”. It put in place an OSH system pursuant to the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Law, and appoints OSH managers, fire protection administrators, first-aid personnel, etc. In addition, an OSH Committee was established in accordance with the laws and regulations with members including OSH managers, heads of departments, supervisors, command personnel, OSH-related technical personnel, medical personnel engaged in labor health services, and labor representatives. The employee representatives account for 30% of the Committee members, and four meetings in total were held in 2023. Regular analyses are performed with Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) iterative process to identify potential risks and possible hazards in the work environment. The work safety operation flow chart is reviewed for hazard causes, in order to identify and prevent possible hazards so as to achieve the goal of zero disasters.

 

Preventing disasters by strengthening employees response

Pursuant to fire protection laws and regulations, WT’s major operating bases in Taiwan, Shenzhen, Beijing, and Shanghai has installed adequate protective facilities in the workplace, divided fire prevention management into zones, and appointed responsible employees on each floor to conduct a periodic key-point inspection every month to prevent accidents from happening. Relevant persons are sent to participate in the fire drill and training held by the management committee every year to be informed of the Park’s emergency exit and evacuation plan. A third-party fire protection institute is commissioned to carry out maintenance and reporting, and a fire protection job assignment and drill is organized in March and July every year to strengthen all employees’ emergency evacuation and response capabilities. Dedicated personnel are assigned to perform nights patrol and safety inspections and ensure that unnecessary power supplies and lighting in the offices are turned off at night.
