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.
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.
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. Further details and implementation status are elaborated below:
RichWave offers comprehensive health management measures including employee physical and health examinations, health services, health risk management, as well as occupational injury and disease prevention. The company manages the work environment and personnel health risks to promote employees' physical and mental well-being. We continue to launch diverse health promotion activities, with the annual goal of achieving an 85% participation rate in employee health examinations and issuing quarterly health information announcements.
