Occupational Safety and Health

In line with the philosophy of caring for employees and emphasizing workplace health and safety, Dyaco implemented the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System. According to the "Risk and Opportunity Management Measures," we identify relevant internal and external issues within the scope of the management system, as well as the needs and expectations of stakeholders, to identify risks and opportunities that must be addressed. This ensures the achievement of expected outcomes of the occupational health and safety management system, aiming to prevent accidents or reduce negative impacts on the company and the external environment. Additionally, we comply with the "Environmental Operations Management Measures," "Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emission Management Measures," and "Health and Safety Management Measures" to implement daily management actions, establish operating guidelines, and ensure compliance among employees, contractors, visitors, and other stakeholders with Dyaco's environmental health and safety policies, objectives, and obligations.

In 2024, Dyaco in Taiwan did not experience any significant occupational accidents. The following information only discloses the three factories in Changhua, Taiwan: Changhua Main Factory with 342 personnel (including nine contractors), Changhua Second Factory with 75 personnel (including two contractors), and Changhua Fifth Factory with 32 personnel (including two contractors). We are committed to continually improving environmental health and safety performance by constructing an environmental health and safety management system. According to the "Environmental Considerations and Occupational Safety Risk Assessment Management Measures," each process (or operation) requires an assessment of various environmental impacts, followed by regular audits conducted annually.

Workplace Promotion

According to the “Occupational Safety and Health Act” and “Occupational Safety and Health Education and Training Regulations,” new employees will take 6 hours of pre-employment classes, including regulations, work inspection, standard operation procedures, emergency response, first aid, etc., to prevent and remind employees to pay attention while working. In addition, only employees with a bridge crane or forklift license can operate to ensure safety.

Occupational Safety Management System & Policy

To ensure the employees’ health and safety, grasp the working environment's actual conditions, and assess the risk exposure to employees, three factories in Changhua entrust a qualified monitoring company to implement the risk assessment every six months.

According to the Chemical Control Banding (CCB) of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the Ministry of Labor’s safety data sheet, chemical factory operations can be divided into different hazard groups. Employees are educated to identify hazards accordingly to avoid them from happening.

At Dyaco, we believe prevention is always better than treatment. This makes the on-site safety observation and auditing a critical task, discovering the unsafe behaviors, environments, and equipment in advance and improving to ensure that every employee is working under safety protection. Therefore, it is required for the supervisor to frequent on-site patrol. Any unsafe behavior will be communicated and corrected immediately; if there is danger (such as fire, explosion, etc.) during work, employees should retreat to a safe place without endangering their safety and immediately report to the supervisor.

Contractors must fill in a hazard notice, which indicates the construction time, location, and possible hazards and provides instructions for safety precautions when entering the factory for construction.

Notification System

When an accident occurs, the department personnel must follow the protocol and report to the related people, and the on-site nurses will assess the injury status. Injury analysis reports are announced every three months at the occupational safety and health meeting, and relevant improvement and protective measures will be carried out to reduce accidents.

Special Health Check

In addition to general health checks, employees in particular work areas, including noise, dust, dimethylformamide, n-hexane, etc., will receive special health inspections.
