GIGABYTE’s Headquarters and three main manufacturing factories have received ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Safety and Health Management System Certification. scope of the GIGABYTE Occupational Safety and Health Management System covers employees, the personnel entering the workplace, and the personnel who may affect the organization’s activities near the workplace.

In order to effectively implement the management plan, a fixed occupational safety and health contact person is set up at each business unit. At present, GIGABYTE’s Occupational Safety and Health Management Plan can be subdivided into 16 items, including workplace hardware testing, operating standards setting, education, and training, health promotion, disaster response, etc. Each item is reviewed and audited every year.

For more details of the outcomes of occupational safety and health management measures, please refer to pp.63-64 of the GIGABYTE CSR Report.

Comprehensive identification of occupational safety and health risks helps to detect potential hazard factors early, and annual management plans assist in controlling and eliminating the factors. GIGABYTE establishes the relevant risk assessment process, and the occupational safety and health contact person of each business unit performs regular risk scoring. Risks are divided into 4 levels according to the scoring results. Level 1 represents the highest risk and level 4 represents the lowest. Further assessment of whether the Company’s current operating control procedures are sufficient to respond to the listed risks are then conducted. When necessary, a management process will be adjusted according to the identification results to prevent the occurrence of occupational accidents.

After risk identification, GIGABYTE first reviews the existing operation management process to confirm the integrity of the Company’s existing regulations and starts improvement of the discovered management gaps. We will continue to manage occupational safety and health risks through PDCA processes in order to provide employees with a safe and healthy working environment.

The Occupational Health and Safety Committees of GIGABYTE’s operating bases in Taiwan are composed of the managers from the Group Operation Management Center, business units, subsidiaries, as well as labor representatives of which the number account for more than one-third of the committee members. Meetings are convened at least once every 3 months to make recommendations on occupational health and safety management policies as well as review and supervise related action plans.
