Occupational Health and Safety Management System
To comprehensively implement safety and health management, Inventec has adopted an Occupational Safety and Health Management System. All thirteen global factories have been certified through the International Occupational Safety and Health Management System (ISO 45001). Furthermore, our corporate headquarters has received certification through the Taiwan Occupational Safety and Health Management System (CNS 45001). In terms of execution, Inventec follows the four steps of the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Action) cycle to carry out various safety and health measures, preventing occupational accidents and illnesses and ensuring a stable, safe, and healthy working environment for all workers, both employees and non-employees.
Occupational Safety and Health Committee
Each Inventec plant has established an Occupational Safety and Health Committee (hereafter referred to as the OSH Committee), which convenes quarterly to jointly deliberate on various occupational safety and health issues. The proportion of labor representatives exceeds the one-third requirement stipulated by law. The primary responsibilities are as follows:
- Provide recommendations on the occupational safety and health policy formulated by the employer.
- Coordinate and propose the occupational safety and health management plan.
- Review the implementation plan for safety and health education and training.
- Review the operating environment monitoring plan, monitoring results, and adopted measures.
- Review health management initiatives, occupational disease prevention, and health promotion eff orts.
- Review various safety and health proposals.
- Review business unit's self-inspection and safety and health audit matters.
- Review preventive measures for hazards associated with machinery, equipment, raw materials, and substances.
- Review occupational incident investigation reports.
- Evaluate on-site safety and health management performance.
- Review safety and health management matters related to contractors.
- Address other matters related to occupational safety and health management.
Specific Implementation Actions
Under the motto "Zero Accidents in the Factory, Happy and Healthy Workplace", the Occupational Safety and Health Committee at Inventec carries out the following specific implementation actions:
- Health Protection Health Promotion
- Communication Negotiation
- Hazard Identification Risk Assessment
- Contingency Drill Educational Training
- Contractor Safety Operational Control
Hazard Identification Risk Assessment
- Conduct hazard identification and risk assessment at least once a year
- Implement when there are processes change management requirements
- Assess whether operational procedures/activities comply with regulations
- Determine unacceptable risks, establish goals, targets, and management plans, and carry out reviews and improvements as needed
Inventec gathers its safety, health, and environment seed members annually to ensure a comprehensive understanding of potential high-risk and high-hazard factors within its factories. These trained members then perform hazard identification and risk assessment for all factories. They quantify various hazard factors and prioritize them based on the level of risk, subsequently setting priority improvement goals. Risk management is carried out through management plans and engineering improvements. Inventec maintains precise records and manages the execution of relevant actions and improvements. Regular tracking, review, and improvement are conducted to continuously eliminate potential safety and health hazards within the factory.
Contingency Drill Educational Training
- Establish an emergency response team
- Firefighting groups of personnel on each floor
- Develop annual emergency response plan and conduct emergency response drills (twice per year)
- All personnel participate in emergency response/escape evacuation drills
- Promote various occupational safety and health education, training and publicity
Inventec formulates emergency response measures and post-disaster recovery plans, and sets up an emergency response team to transmit and grasp emergency response information in real time; it also holds regular in-factory fire drills every year to disseminate various fire protection information to colleagues, including disaster prevention knowledge, factory disaster levels, use of fire-fighting equipment, factory evacuation routes and related emergency measures, etc., to strengthen disaster handling capabilities, familiar with emergency response procedures and related precautions; in the event of a disaster, all colleagues can respond quickly and implement emergency response perfectly disposal, thereby eliminating disasters or minimizing harm.
Each factory in Taiwan holds two emergency response and disaster prevention safety drills. Fire drills in China factories are divided into day shift and night shift evacuation drills.
Inventec provides employees with a variety of safety and health training to enhance their safety and health knowledge, such as general on-the-job personnel education and training, fire management personnel training, CPR first aid training, industrial safety and health training and various on-the-job training; as for special personnel Operational education and training items include forklifts, organic solvents, radiation safety and protection, pressure vessels, boilers, etc.
In 2023, there were 17,981 participants in the occupational safety and health training and we held 33 emergency response training sessions, including fire response and first aid training.
Contractor Identification Mechanism
Inventec mandates that all contracted projects appoint legally required safety and health management personnel. Furthermore, contractors must ensure their workers are covered by labor insurance. Relevant qualifications and documentation must be presented before contractors are allowed to enter the facility and commence operations. Prior to the start of any construction, contractors are required to provide a project-specific risk assessment along with corresponding mitigation measures. Daily environment, safety, and health audits are performed throughout the duration of construction, and any identified deficiencies must be rectified immediately. For regularly engaged contractors, Inventec conducts annual performance evaluations focused on their safety and health records. These evaluations serve as a critical reference for construction project-initiating departments in their contractor selection process.
To effectively prevent fire incidents, Inventec has established an Industrial Safety Strategic Alliance. This initiative aims to enhance the Group's safety management performance by investigating the root causes of any incidents through systematic audits and follow-up actions. The audit scope includes high-risk plant sites and new construction projects across the Group. Tailored audit plans are formulated based on the specific risk characteristics of each site to ensure the rigorous implementation of all safety measures. As a result of these efforts, the Group recorded zero fire incidents in 2024.
