Employee Care and Social Welfare

Safe Workplace

WIN established an Occupational Safety and Health Committee for the entire company and plants, meetings are convened every quarter. The meetings focused on related performance in environmental protection, safety and health, implementation progress, results, follow-up tracking, review, and regulatory updates. The Departments, in-house nurses, and labor representatives of the employee/employer meeting assigned labor representatives to take part in the meetings. The Occupational Safety and Health Committee is the EHS exchange platform between employers and employees.

WIN have obtained the OHSAS18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Certification since 2002, which included business operations in all of WIN's fabs.

Results of Safety and Health Implementation

The 2018 performances and 2019 objectives are shown in the table below. The EHS Department compiles statistics on the performances each quarter and reports and reviews performances in the management review meeting. It uses regular review of the implementation status to let employees learn about and focus on safety and health issues in the plants to reach established objectives. In the fourth quarter of each year, WIN compiles the management indicators from the first quarter to the third quarter of the year to sets management objectives for the following year. These objectives are announced and implemented following the approval of the EHS representatives and senior executives.

We failed to reach objectives on two of the performance indicators in 2018 including employee traffic accidents (FR) and corrective action request (CAR). To reduce the number of employee traffic accidents and CAR, we organize regular orientation and on-the-job safety and health training and we also organize regular courses and education materials to enhance employees' awareness for correct and safe operations and to prevent accidents.
