Occupational Safety and Health Management Plan
GIGABYTE operating locations that have obtained ISO 45001:2018 OHS management system certification include the Headquarters, Taoyuan Nanping Factory, China-Dongguan Factory, and China-Ningbo Factory. The management scope includes employees, on-site contractors, visitors, and any personnel near the workplace that may affect organizational activities. The subsidiaries Giga Computing, Bestyield International, G-Style, Cloudmatrix, Senyun Precision Optical, and Selita Precision, as well as the sub-subsidiary GIGAIPC are not certified yet. Please visit Sustainability-related Certification to review the certificates.
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.

At present, GIGABYTEʼs 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.

Occupational Safety and Health Risk Management
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 defines risk assessment processes, which are then periodically assessed by the OHS contact point in each business group. The assessments cover operational frequency, workflow, equipment and materials used, and operating environment. Risks are divided into 4 levels according to the assessing results. Further assessment of whether the Companyʼs current operating control procedures are sufficient to respond to the listed risks is 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 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.
Incident Reporting and Handling
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.”
Occupational Injury and Disaster Statistics
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.
