Workplace Health and Safety

Shihlin Electric is committed to creating a comfortable, safe, and healthy working environment, continually reducing the rate of occupational accidents. We have established an "Occupational Safety and Health Policy" as the highest guiding principle for safety and health management, actively improving workplaces, manufacturing equipment, and work procedures to protect the rights and safety of workers and stakeholders. Occupational safety and health management at each production and operation site—covering worker participation, consultation, communication, and the prevention and mitigation of business-related health and safety impacts—is carried out in accordance with the chapters and clauses of the occupational safety and health management system. Annual third-party audits ensure continued certification validity. The system encompasses all employees and all non-employee workers within our facilities. To comply with domestic EHS regulations and align with international management systems, the company has invested in safety management resources. Since 2020, we have been certified under ISO 45001:2018 and CNS 45001:2018. We implement a "safety management cycle" composed of legal compliance, system development, policy and target setting, solution planning, incentive and disciplinary measures, and performance review, all aimed at achieving zero workplace accidents.

Occupational Safety Performance

Based on supervision and measurement results, we set and review key performance indicators (KPIs) during annual EHS management reviews to ensure the effectiveness of our safety performance. Performance evaluation follows the company’s hazard identification and risk assessment procedures, national EHS laws and regulations, and ISO 45001 system requirements. The names and calculation methods of safety KPIs are outlined in the table below.
