Occupational Safety and Health

RichWave sees employees as the company's most valuable asset, hence the Employee Manual was formulated in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act and relevant bylaws. Besides regularly conducting workplace safety inspections and monitoring, training and promotions are also carried out to bolster the employees' emergency response capabilities. RichWave is a Type II business entity. Currently, its number of employees has not reached the threshold required by the Occupational Safety and Health Act to establish an occupational safety and health management system, and in the future, it plans to establish an occupational safety and health management system in accordance with the national standard CNS 45001 and above.

 

Creating a Healthy and Safe Working Environment

Thanks to comprehensive management policies, crisis and risk management, health promotion activities, and educational training, RichWave experienced no major occupational accidents in 2023. There was one case of general occupational injury, resulting in 2 lost workdays and an occupational injury rate of 0.33. In 2023, the primary cause of general occupational injury was an incident where an employee fell while walking in the stairwell due to sudden personal health conditions. Following the incident, we reinforced safety education on stairwell usage and promoted the use of handrails. Moreover, the company implemented a special health management program and monitored the employee's conditions until no abnormalities were detected.

Notes:
  1. Direct employees include employees on RichWave's payroll, with reference to "Employed Workers" of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the Ministry of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Statistical Reporting Operations on Occupational Accidents; contract employees are those who are not on the company's payroll but are under the company's day-to-day supervision, with reference to other workers not classified as employed workers by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the Ministry of Labor.

  3. The calculation of the total number of working hours also makes reference to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the Ministry of Labor's reporting requirements for occupational accident statistics.
  4. The number of recordable occupational injuries includes the number of deaths caused by occupational injuries; the percentage of recordable occupational injuries = (number of recordable occupational injuries/total working hours) x 200,000. The occupational injuries recorded in this table follow the definition of occupational accidents under the Labor Standards Act, which is consistent with the reporting of occupational accidents and does not include commuting accidents; in 2023, there were a total of 4 commuting accidents (with 175 lost days of incapacitating injuries). The company continues to strengthen employee awareness and cite the relevant information of the Road User Safety Manual of the Ministry of the Interior's National Police Agency in the education and training materials to enhance employees' awareness of commuting safety.
  5. Serious occupational accidents refer to injuries that make it difficult for workers to return to their pre-injury state of health within 180 days, excluding fatalities. Percentage of serious occupational accidents =(Number of serious occupational accidents/Total working hours) x 200,000.
  6. Percentage of occupational Injury fatalities = (Number of occupational injury fatalities/Total working hours) x 200,000.

 

Occupational Risk Management Training

Per the regulations of the "Occupational Safety and Health Act", RichWave reports relevant occupational accidents to labor inspection agencies within 8 hours. If danger is imminent in the workplace, the operations will be stopped immediately and all the workers will be evacuated to safety. When workers are faced with immediate danger at the workplace, they may stop their operations and retreat to a safe place without endangering other workers and report the incident to their direct supervisor immediately. RichWave rigorously adheres to the regulations of the "Occupational Safety and Health Act"; we do not dismiss or reassign the abovementioned employees, and we do not deduct their salaries during work suspension or enforce other disciplinary measures on them.

RichWave's operating locations consist of mainly offices. To protect our employees' occupational safety, workplace protection measures implemented annually include public area fire safety inspection, labor work environment monitoring, new employee safety and health education and training, and access control system.
