Sustainability
MetaAge is committed to creating a safe and healthy workplace and implementing occupational safety and health management and the goal of zero accidents. MetaAge has established and obtained certification for the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System. By promoting the systematization of management procedures, MetaAge facilitates the tracking and quantification of relevant data and enhances management effectiveness. At the same time, MetaAge has established a dedicated occupational safety and health management unit responsible for the formulation, planning, and supervision of relevant systems, as well as an Occupational Safety and Health Committee to provide recommendations on occupational safety and health policies and conduct reviews and coordination.
MetaAge's Occupational Safety and Health Committee holds a meeting every three months to provide recommendations on measures related to the annual occupational safety and health policies, as well as conduct reviews and coordination. The Committee is chaired by the employer and consists of 13 members, including seven labor representatives, with a two-year term of office. The Chairperson designates one member to serve as the Executive Secretary to oversee the promotion of occupational safety and health, ensuring communication and consultation with employees and the maintenance of workplace safety and health.
To implement occupational safety and health management, the occupational safety and health management system has established the “Labor Safety and Health Work Rules” in accordance with relevant regulations, including the Ministry of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Act and Regulations Governing Occupational Safety and Health Organizations and Management. The scope of occupational safety and health protection covers all employees and other workers of MetaAge's headquarters, subsidiaries, and branches, including contractors and interns. The system also enables employees across all operating locations to strengthen self-management and implement the dynamic PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle, with identified deficiencies reviewed and used as the basis for further assessment and improvement.
The top five risk incident categories with the highest assessment frequency are disclosed.Within the unit, 48 items were assessed at risk level 1, 75 at level 2, and none at levels 3 to 5. Each year, a new risk assessment is conducted for every unit. Risks rated level 3 or higher are included in the Risk and Opportunity Action Plan Overview for improvement.
To ensure that employees have a thorough understanding of potential hazards in the workplace and to reduce the risk of occupational injuries and accidents, the Company arranges “General Occupational Safety and Health Education and Training” for both new and existing employees.
At the same time, to enhance employees' awareness of workplace occupational safety and health and their ability to prevent and manage risks, MetaAge communicates employees' rights and procedures related to the right to retreat in accordance with Article 18 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The Company also provides CPR and AED training, first aid personnel training, nursing personnel training, emergency response drills, and occupational safety and health management training to safeguard the operational environment and the physical and mental well-being of employees.
