Occupational Health and Safety Management Structure

Oversight of Health, Safety, and Well-being by the Board of Directors

The Company has established a clear and systematic governance structure, with committees and working groups at various levels responsible for setting direction, overseeing, and driving occupational health and safety operations with commitment.

Responsible Committees and Working Groups

The Company has established an interconnected occupational health and safety governance structure with systematic reporting, comprising:

1. Board of Directors
The Board of Directors plays a crucial role in overseeing and approving occupational health and safety policies at the highest level, as well as monitoring key performance outcomes through reports from the Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee.

2. Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee
This committee oversees and monitors the Company's sustainability performance, including occupational health and safety matters. It receives quarterly summary reports from the Risk Management, Sustainability, and Corporate Governance Working Group for presentation to the Board of Directors.

3. Executive Committee
The Executive Committee receives monthly reports on occupational health and safety performance, reviews and approves plans, projects, and budgets related to workplace environment improvements, as well as urgent issues requiring immediate attention.

4. Risk Management, Sustainability, and Corporate Governance Working Group
This working group monitors and evaluates sustainability performance according to international standards (ISO 45001, GRI Standards, FTSE4Good Index), collects data, analyzes performance, and prepares monthly reports for the Executive Committee and quarterly summary reports for the Sustainability and Corporate Governance Committee.

5. Safety, Occupational Health, and Working Environment Committee
The Safety, Occupational Health, and Working Environment Committee meets monthly under the supervision of the Chief Operating Officer. Its responsibilities include monitoring safety situations, analyzing accident and near-miss incident data, recommending preventive and corrective measures, reviewing safety plans and budgets, and promoting employee participation at all levels.

6. Safety, Occupational Health, and Environment Department
The Safety, Occupational Health, and Environment Department is the primary operational unit directly responsible for occupational health and safety, reporting to the Chief Operating Officer. It plays a key role in translating safety policies and plans into practice, conducting risk assessments, inspecting workplace safety, managing training programs, overseeing personal protective equipment (PPE), investigating accidents and near-miss incidents, preparing reports, and serving as secretary to the Safety, Occupational Health, and Working Environment Committee.

Occupational Health and Safety Risk Assessment

The Company has developed a systematic occupational health and safety risk assessment process covering both ongoing projects and new initiatives. The approach is based on the principle that each department conducts its own risk assessments under the supervision and support of the Safety, Occupational Health, and Environment Department.

Objectives

  • Prevent accidents and work-related illnesses
  • Reduce health impacts on employees and surrounding communities
  • Build a safety culture within the organization
  • Support strategic decision-making by management

The Company conducts risk assessments based on ISO 45001 standards and guidelines from the Ministry of Labour, integrating information from multiple departments.

Risk Assessment Process

The Company conducts risk assessments for both new projects and ongoing activities through the following processes:

Risk Assessment for New Projects

Before commencing new projects or investments, the Company conducts comprehensive risk assessments to prevent impacts on employees, communities, and the environment.

The risk assessment process for new projects includes identifying hazards from work processes, materials, machinery, and the environment, covering physical risks, chemical risks, and human behavior risks. A risk matrix is used to prioritize and establish control measures, including both short-term and long-term health impact assessments.

Additionally, the Company integrates safety into the design from the outset (Safety by Design), emphasizing ergonomic principles such as using electric hoists to reduce heavy lifting burdens, adjusting layout configurations to minimize bending or reaching, and selecting appropriate assistive tools to prevent injuries from the design stage.

Risk Assessment for Ongoing Activities

Each department is responsible for regularly assessing risks in their areas of responsibility, with the Safety, Occupational Health, and Environment Department providing oversight and guidance.

Implementation approach:

  • Departments identify hazards and assess risks in their own areas
  • Establish control measures and develop safe work procedures
  • The Safety Department reviews and provides recommendations
  • Reviews are conducted when processes change or accidents occur

Example Risk Assessment in Printing Area:

  • Hazard: Odors and fumes from chemicals in printing ink and solvents
  • Health Impact: Respiratory irritation, nausea, skin contact
  • Control Measures: Install local exhaust ventilation systems, prepare and provide training on Safety Data Sheets (SDS), provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as vapor-protective masks and chemical-resistant gloves, conduct training on safe chemical handling

Participation and Performance Monitoring

The Company promotes employee participation through monthly safety meetings, opinion surveys, participatory training programs, and channels for reporting safety concerns.

Performance is continuously monitored using indicators such as Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) and Incident Severity Rate (ISR). Internal audits are conducted at least once annually, and results are reported to management and stakeholders to ensure transparency and cooperation in developing a safe working environment.

Occupational Health and Safety Incident Management

The Company places the highest priority on accident prevention and employee well-being at all levels, adhering to preventive safety management principles and systematic incident response to create a safe and sustainable working environment.

Preventive Measures

Five Safety Golden Rules

The Company has established Five Safety Golden Rules as fundamental practices that all employees must strictly adhere to and follow:

  1. Do not put hands into machinery while it is operating - Wait until machinery has completely stopped before cleaning or performing maintenance
  2. Do not operate machinery without training - All employees must complete training and pass knowledge tests before beginning operations
  3. Wear complete Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) before starting work - Such as safety helmets, safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, vapor-protective masks, as appropriate for the task
  4. Maintain a distance of at least 1.5 meters from forklifts - For safety and to prevent collisions or accidents from lift trucks
  5. Use cutters correctly and safely - Retract blades immediately after use and cut in a safe direction

These Five Safety Golden Rules are communicated and widely disseminated throughout all work areas and are part of every employee's training program.

Incident Management

Monitoring and Reporting System

The Company maintains a continuous system for monitoring, inspecting, and reporting occupational health and safety incidents, including analysis of incidents that occur or near-miss events to identify systemic causes and improve control measures.

Safety Alert System

Whenever a safety incident occurs, the Company issues a Safety Red Alert or Safety Alert according to the severity level to immediately communicate to all employees, containing the following information:

  • Where (Location of Incident) - Specifies the area and production line
  • Who (Involved Parties) - Department or individuals involved
  • What Happened (Details) - Detailed description of the incident
  • How (Damage) - Assessment of impact and monetary damage
  • Key Point (Critical Issues) - What must be watched for and prevented
  • Quick Response (Immediate Actions) - Urgent measures implemented
  • Supporting Images - Shows incident location and causes

Safety Alerts are disseminated through notice boards, email, and monthly meetings so everyone can learn and prevent recurrence of similar incidents.

Investigation and Corrective Actions

The Safety, Occupational Health, and Environment Department, together with supervisors, conducts thorough investigations and reports findings to the Safety, Occupational Health, and Working Environment Committee and the Risk Management, Sustainability, and Corporate Governance Working Group, while implementing corrective actions and preventive measures to avoid recurrence.

Contractor Fatalities from Work (persons) 0 0 0 0

*Unit: per 200,000 working hours

Analysis and Improvement Targets

While the Company has consistently maintained LTIFR at a low level, analysis reveals that ISR increased significantly in 2024 from 3.98 to 9.55, indicating that although the number of accidents did not increase, the severity of incidents that occurred has intensified.

The Company has therefore established proactive targets for 2025 as follows:

  • LTIFR: Reduce by 33% from 0.23 to 0.15 (per 200,000 working hours)
  • ISR: Reduce by 33% from 9.55 to 6.40 (per 200,000 working hours)

These targets will be achieved through serious proactive measures including in-depth root cause analysis, enhanced measures in high-risk areas, specialized training programs, improved emergency response systems, and increased monitoring frequency.

Example Incidents and Corrective Actions

Incident Cause Corrective Actions Implemented
Employee's finger cut by slit trimming blade while reaching under operating roller to tighten loose film Non-compliance with Safety Golden Rules, no defined slit-pulling point in work procedures Revised work procedures to specify slit-handling points, added VDO training through Data Center
