To achieve the goal of "zero occupational accidents, low risks, and establishment of a top quality safety and health workplace", Taishin FHC and its subsidiaries have formulated the Taishin FHC Occupational Safety and Health Policy, and strictly abide by occupational safety and health laws and the international occupational health and safety management system ISO 45001. The PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) circular manage[1]ment structure is used to eliminate occupational safety and health hazards, reduce operational risks, and build an intrinsically safe and healthy working environment to achieve a "friendly and healthy" workplace.

Taishin Bank has set up an "Occupational Safety and Health Committee", which holds quarterly meetings and regularly reports the promotion progress of occupational health and safety to senior executives. The Occupational Safety and Health Committee consists of 9 members, with the President as the Chairman. The other members include the Head of the Administrative Service Division, the Occupational Health and Safety Management Unit, nurses, technicians involved in occupational safety and health, and 3 labor representa[1]tives elected by the employer-employee meeting (one-third participation from the labor side). The members jointly participate in decision-making and consultation, and work together to build a culture of safety and health. Major issues should be reported to the Board of Directors at any time. The Board of Directors should supervise the overall effectiveness of the promotion of occupational health and safety.

In order to protect the safety and health of employees and to provide a safe and healthy workplace, Taishin actively introduced ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management system, and implemented it in all workplaces with 10,243 employees and contractors. The coverage ratio of the system reached 88%. In particular, the Neihu Building of Taishin Bank passed the third-party verification of the British Standard Institution (BSI) in May 2020, and continued to be certified in 2024. The number of people who participated in the internal audit and external verification reached 1,662, with a coverage rate of 21.80% in 2024.

In order to protect the safety and health of employees and to provide a safe and healthy workplace, occupational safety and health management personnel conduct environmental risk assessment and hazard identification in the workplace. Through management procedures such as hazard identification and risk assessment, regulatory review, internal audit, management review, and safety and health correction operations, they identify potential hazard factors that may cause personal injury or accidents in various operating activities and facilities, continuously identify and evaluate hazards, and implement necessary control measures for unacceptable risks that have occurred or may occur, so as to meet the requirements of continuous improvement of the occupational health and safety management system. The on-site medical staff conduct Framingham cardiovascular disease risk assessment for employees, identify the hazards of the four major plans for labor health protection (abnormal workload, ergonomics, maternity, and illegal infringement), and generate a Taishin health risk matrix, in order to establish workplace health and safety standards and create a friendlier workplace environment.

In order to prevent occupational accidents, maintain the safety and health of workers in the workplace, and ensure the validity of certificates for various occupational safety and health supervisors, fire prevention management personnel, and first aiders, we continued to send employees to participate in on-the-job education and training for fire management personnel, first aiders, and occupational safety and health supervisors in 2024 to improve their professional knowledge on occupational safety and health overview, occupational health and safety management system, emergency response management (including first aid), and various hazard prevention management practices, as well as become familiar with first aid skills.

In order to strengthen the occupational safety and health knowledge of employees and prevent occupational accidents, our rules stipulate that new employees, before reporting for duty, are required to complete a general occupational safety and health training course, both online and in person. The online version is available on the Ministry of Labor Online Occupational Safety and Health Digital Learning Platform, and the physical course is organized internally by the company. The courses cover such topics as occupational safety and health regulations, prevention of common occupational accidents, prevention of traffic accidents, health and safety measures (for maternal health protection and to prevent wrongful physical or mental harm, musculoskeletal disorders, ailments induced by exceptional workload), emergency response procedures, and firefighting knowledge and drills. In 2024, a total of 41 occupational safety and health courses for new employees were organized and attended by approximately 2,516 people. Each year, existing employees are required to complete a one-hour online compulsory course, entitled "General Occupational Safety and Health Education and Training". In 2024, the total number of trainees of Taishin FHC and its subsidiaries was 10,452, with a completion rate of 100%.
