Following a safety and health hazard identification process in the workplace environment, we have completed a total of 1,137 cases using the four plans of hazard identification. Based on the results of these hazard identification efforts, we have identified areas for improvement in the workplace environment at the plant. These identified areas will be included in an annual action plan to improve the overall safety and health of employees.
Occupational Accident Statistics
In 2022, nine occupational accidents occurred (9 were for employees, 0 for miscellaneous workers who are not employees, and no occupational diseases). Three of the accidents were caused by clamps and rolling, two were due to falls, three involved dropping, and one resulted in compression injury. The primary reasons for these incidents were failure to follow standard operating procedures during repairs and maintenance, lack of safety awareness, and inadequate supervision and management. To address these issues, personnel safety and health education and training will be conducted, warning signs will be added to the site of the incidents, and improvements will be made to the project.
