HR-Occupational Safety and Health

Occupational Safety and Health Management

In order to safeguard the health and safety of employees, prevent occupational accidents, and achieve the goal of ′zero accidents, zero incidents, ′ Lasertek has established the ′Occupational Safety and Health Work Code′ and the ′Occupational Safety and Health Management Plan′ in accordance with the ′Occupational Safety and Health Act′ and relevant regulations. Furthermore, an Occupational Safety and Health Committee has been formed, requiring each department to set up occupational safety and health units, appoint management personnel and first aid staff, and regularly review local laws to ensure that internal management methods and systems comply with local regulations.

Through periodic occupational hazard identification and risk assessments, Lasertek reviews whether any prohibited substances, as committed by the company, are being used or stored. Additionally, risk evaluations and audits are conducted for the storage and documentation of items like organic solvents, ensuring a safe working environment.

Each year, safety and health education and training are conducted to enable employees to acquire the necessary safety knowledge for their work and improve their emergency response capabilities. Lasertek also participates in the zero-accident activity promoted by the Industrial Safety and Health Association (ISHA) Of the R.O.C, and from May 1, 2006, to March 31, 2024, the company has accumulated a total of 6,297,952 hours of zero-accident work, with 165 workers involved.

Occupational Health Services

To help employees maintain a balance between work, health, and life, Lasertek provides on-site consultations with doctors and nurses, as well as a health check-up every two years. Follow-up care is conducted by on-site medical staff, ensuring continuous attention to the physical and mental well-being of employees. Each year, based on the results of workplace environment monitoring, Lasertek arranges special health checks for employees exposed to specific health hazards, and implements graded health management as required by law. Employees under Tier 3 health management will have their health status monitored in the following year, while those in Tier 4 are required to attend consultations and receive guidance from on-site medical staff. These staff also conduct workplace inspections and follow-up on recommendations provided by visiting physicians.

In 2023, a total of 69 employees underwent health checks for hazardous work environments, with one individual classified under Tier 4 health management, whose health status is regularly tracked by on-site medical staff.

For health promotion training courses, we first survey employees’ preferences on the topics before planning the sessions. Through these courses, we aim to improve employees’ health knowledge and enhance both their physical and mental well-being.

Lasertek is committed to creating a healthy workplace. In 2018, we received the ′Badge of Accredited Healthy Workplace – Smokefree & health promotion′ from the Health Promotion Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare. Additionally, in 2020 and 2023, we were awarded the ′Badge of Accredited Healthy Workplace - Health Promotion Seal.′ Lasertek will continue to care for the physical and mental health of every employee, fostering a safe and supportive working environment.

Lasertek fully ensures the rights of employees to take parental leave. Employees who have worked for more than six months may apply for unpaid parental leave for up to two years before each child reaches the age of three, with the leave period ending when the child turns three. During the unpaid parental leave, employees can continue to participate in the company’s social insurance program. We actively implement the spirit of the Gender Equality in Employment Act and advocate for SDG5 ′Gender Equality′ from the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In line with Article 31 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, Lasertek has also established mechanisms for maternity health protection to ensure the physical and mental health of pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding employees. In 2023, two employees received maternity health follow-up and guidance from our on-site healthcare team. Additionally, the company has set up nursing rooms to provide a safe and convenient space for employees to use when needed.
