A permanent OHS contact point was established in each business group to ensure effective OHS management. The Occupational Health and Safety Committee was also set up, which is composed of the Group Operation Management Center, managers of business units, as well as labor representatives, whose the number account for more than one-third of the committee members. The OHS Committee is convened quarterly together with subsidiariesʼ OHS Committees to examine OHS management policy and matters, and to continue optimizing and managing the OHS risks at the company to ensure a safe and hygienic working environment for employees.

After risk identification, GIGABYTE first reviews the existing operation management process to confirm the integrity of the Companyʼs existing regulations and starts improvement of the discovered management gaps. For Level 1 high-risk cases, risk control measures such as formulation/revision of operating procedures, as well as enhanced supervision, measurement, communication, and training frequency were adopted. Those are also prioritized in health and safety targets and proposal management. 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.

GIGABYTE formulates the “Incident Reporting and Handling Work Instructions” to enhance the employee reporting, recording, review, presentation, and handling procedures for occupational accidents. The “Labor Health and Safety Work Rules” were also formulated to explicitly state that employees are required to “stop work immediately if you feel that you or your colleagues are being put at risk. Only resume work after changes that will prevent harm to yourself and others have been organized.”

There were 4 recordable occupational injuries at GIGABYTEʼs Nanping Factory and Ningbo Factory. Educational articles and personnel training were immediately instituted after the cases occurred. The design unit was also notified to engage in corrective action for the reason and electives.
