Health and Safety Management Policies

 

The protection of human lives through occupational safety are Taipower’s highest priority. To ensure the safety of employees and operations, Taipower pursues a goal of zero occupational incidents to create a safe, healthy, and friendly workplace. Additionally, to minimize the occupational injuries of contractors, Taipower optimizes items related to health and safety management in its construction contracts and actively assists and supervises contractors in establishing and implementing their own occupational safety management mechanisms.In 2023, Taipower conducted about 897 health and safety-related advocacy meetings for contractors, with a total of about 32,386 participants.

Industrial Safety Accident Analysis and ImprovementMeasures

Over the past decade, Taipower's major occupational injuries—primarily thermal exposure, electric shocks, and falls—were caused by SOP non-compliance, missing PPE, unmonitored site access, and weak on-site supervision. To eliminate these risks, Taipower is systematically upgrading its safety management through system optimization, continuous training, rigorous audits, technology integration, and an embedded safety culture.
