Environmental Safety Risk Identification and Improvement Measures
To effectively manage potential environmental, safety, and health (ESH) risks arising from business activities and product manufacturing processes, PSMC follows a process and activity hazard identification and risk assessment process to identify potential ESH risks and formulate corresponding management countermeasures in advance. Each department comprehensively identifies its work content based on its process or activity scope, covering the activities of contractors and visitors within the plant area, as well as potential ESH issues involved in product delivery to customers. Information on inputs and outputs such as raw materials, parts, cleaning supplies, personal protective equipment, and wastewater, exhaust gas, and waste is compiled as the basis for subsequent risk assessments.

Formulating Environmental Safety and Health Strategy Process and Target
PSMC through the SWOT analysis to the specific risks and opportunities identified. The management objectives and implementation plans are discussed through the environmental safety and health representatives at each plant, and then implemented after the results are reported upward by the management audit committee.

Contractor Management Mechanism
PSMC has established "Contractor Safety, Health and Environmental Protection Regulations," requiring contractors to strictly implement safety, health and environmental management during operations within the factory premises, with zero workplace injuries as the management goal. Each factory area implements personnel and movement control based on the "one contractor, one card" principle. Contractors must complete training and pass an examination to obtain a special work permit and access control card, along with an approved work permit, before entering or exiting designated work areas.

Workplace Safety Protection |
|
In terms of implementation level, PSMC adheres to the "Environmental Safety and Health Management Manual," with supervisors at all levels providing necessary resources according to their job responsibilities. This encourages employees to actively participate in improvement proposals and training discussions, enhancing operational awareness and workplace safety, and continuously strengthening the overall quality of environmental safety and health management. Regarding supervision and management, following the "Environmental Safety and Health Management Review Regulations" and "Abnormal Incident Investigation Procedures," the company conducts quarterly reviews of the operational compliance of the environmental safety and health management system, assessing the progress and effectiveness of health and safety risk prevention and mitigation goals. The review results are provided to management and relevant stakeholders as a basis for continuous improvement of the management system. Furthermore, PSMC has established a comprehensive abnormal incident investigation mechanism, covering the investigation of occupational accidents (including traffic accidents) and various abnormal incidents. Through hazard identification, safety inspections, and on-site audits, the company clari¬fies the causes of accidents, proposes corrective and preventative measures, and prevents similar incidents from recurring.

Operating Environment Monitoring and Protection
For hazards and risks that have occurred or have the potential to occur in the working environment, PSMC plans monitoring locations and sampling methods according to its "Workplace Environment Monitoring Plan," ensuring that monitoring results comply with the "Permissible Exposure Standards for Workers" announced by the Ministry of Labor. If monitoring results exceed the standards, corrective measures will be immediately initiated in accordance with the "Environmental Safety and Health Risk Assessment Procedures," and the effectiveness of the improvements will be reassessed, with relevant records maintained.

General Occupational Safety Training
PSMC's environmental safety and health education and training is divided into three major categories, including” environmental safety and health management system”, “legal license”, and “operational control”. Each department conducts the suitability assessment of personnel who may affect the performance of environmental safety and health and compliance obligations in order to plan the required education and training categories, and formulates the "departmental environmental safety and health education and training plan". In 2025, a total of 175 training plans were completed and incorporated into departmental goals, with quarterly progress checks to ensure a 100% achievement rate. Additionally, an environmental safety and health education and training system was established to help departments update and track safety and health training results. For instance, in waste reduction-related training, a total of 101 training sessions were conducted, with 4,964 participants. The training results were recorded in the electronic system, improving overall training management and audit efficiency.

Emergency Response and Fire Safety/First Aid Training and Drills
The re safety training and practical drill programs held in 2025 were divided into ERT (Emergency Response Team) training and ERT drill. Training sessions related to how to wear personal protective equipment and how to use a variety of response equipment are organized every year to help personnel skillfully, correctly and effectively use response equipment in emergencies and avoid ERT personnel injuries during accident rescue. PSMC conducted 318 ERT training sessions in 2025, with 1,144quali¬ed ERT rescue team members being trained, and 199 members completing the ERT ¬first aid team training (online CPR and AED courses). In addition, PSMC has formulated the Plant Area Disaster Emergency Response Regulations to ensure that in the event of emergencies, the personal injuries, property losses and environmental damage caused by accidents and the degree of impact on the environment can be mitigated through correct, effective, and systematic response procedures. 294 ERT drills were conducted in 2025, including cleanroom evacuation drills, department's self-directed response drills, interdepartmental joint drills, etc.

Contractor Education Training
All contractors were required to complete construction capability certification before entering the plant, with 1,230 contractors completing this process in 2025. Contractor personnel entering the plant for the first time were required to attend an introductory training course; 365 such courses were conducted in 2025, and 1,939 new work permits were issued. Furthermore, to further enhance contractor personnel's hazard awareness, long-term contractors in catering, security, cleaning, and gas cylinder replacement sectors were required to receive at least one hour of safety and health-related training annually. A comprehensive on-the-job retraining program was implemented in 2025, assisting 10,212 contractors in completing hazard prevention awareness training and obtaining plant operation quali¬fications for 2026-2028, effectively reducing operational risks.

Occupational Injuries and Illnesses
In the event of occupational accidents, the accident investigation procedures must be followed to give feedback to the management system, through which the accident source can be controlled and improvement measures can be parallel implemented to avoid the recurrence of same problems. The corresponding preventive improvement measures have been parallel implemented in all plant areas. In addition, PSMC has taken into consideration the recommendations of experts and scholars to consolidate the business operations of the plants and to specify the implementation of occupational illness prevention and management measures at the company to achieve the ultimate goal of "zero illness at work and a healthy life" through three approaches: prevention, return to work, and compensation (PRC). Moreover, screening of potentially hazardous operations and near miss improvement and tracking have also been conducted, and the List of Potentially Hazardous Operations has been updated and incorporated into in-plant monitoring and management systems.
