Environmental Safety Risk and Improvement Measures |
|
Environmental Safety Risk Identification and Improvement Measures
In order to control the possible environmental, safety and health risks existing in business activities or product production processes, through process/activity hazard identification and risk assessment, PSMC has identified related environmental safety and health risks and formulated countermeasures in advance to effectively reduce the risks caused by a variety of operations or activities. Individual departments must examine the contents of their operations or information about the activities they are engaged in based on the scope and procedures of related processes/activities, including activities of contractors and visitors in plant areas, and EHS issues arising in the process when products are delivered to customers. Next, the departments must take inventory of the raw materials, parts, cleaning supplies, and personal protective equipment they use, summarize the information about the wastewater/exhaust/waste, etc. they produce, and fill out the Department Process/Activity Step List, which shall serve as a basis for subsequent EHS risk assessments.

Formulating Environmental Safety and Health Strategy Process and Target
PSMC's environmental safety and health policies, and management objectives are formulated based on the specific risks and opportunities identified through SWOT analysis at the corporate and departmental levels. 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 formulated the "Contractor ESH Protection Regulations," requiring contractors to effectively implement safety, health and environmental management during operations within Fabs, with zero workplace injuries as the management goal. Each factory area implements personnel and movement control based on the principle of "one certificate and one card for contractors." Contractors must complete education and training courses as well as passing a test to obtain a SWP (special work permit) and access control card, along with an approved work permit, before they can enter and exit designated work areas. Each business unit regularly receives monthly contractor management reports, formulates enhanced management measures based on statistical analysis results, and conducts focused supervision and self-management requirements for contractors with frequent violations. The relevant findings will be included in the quarterly review and evaluation by the ESH Committee. To improve the efficiency of communication and management, PSMC launched a Contractor Management System in 2025, and formulated relevant training materials within the platform for contractors to access and utilize in real time.
Contractor evaluation and auditing are crucial components of the management mechanism. PSMC explicitly includes occupational safety and health regulations in its procurement contracts to ensure that contractors fully understand and comply with the Company's operating requirements and relevant laws and regulations. The ESH Department in each plants collaborates with the Procurement Department to conduct regular contractor evaluations according to unified evaluation standards. Contractors propose improvement measures for any deficiencies and conduct follow-up reviews. The evaluation results also serve as an important reference for subsequent contracting and renewals. In 2025, a total of 184 contractors were evaluated, and all evaluation results met the requirements, allowing for continued cooperation.

Full Promotion of Occupational Safety |
|
In order to effectively control the activities, products, services, and internal and external issues related to the environmental safety and health operations at the plant site, PSMC has established the "Environmental Safety and Health Management Manual", which covers all stakeholders related to the company's operations, including all employees, customers, contractors, suppliers, subcontractors, environmental safety and health authorities, and nongovernmental organizations.
In terms of implementation, supervisors at all levels provide adequate resources and support according to their duties, and encourage departmental colleagues to actively participate in proposals for improvement and training discussions to enhance the vigilance of business execution and the safety of the working environment, and to strengthen the overall environmental safety and health quality, with “proactive, safe and immediate” as the starting point. In terms of supervision and management, we regularly review the level of compliance of the operation of the environmental safety and health management system in accordance with the Environmental Safety and Health Management Review Regulations and Abnormal Incident Investigation Practice on a quarterly basis, evaluate the progress and results of achieving the goals of preventing and reducing risks of health and safety hazards and deliver the audit results to the management and stakeholders as a point of reference for the improvement and adjustment of the management system. In addition, PSMC has established abnormal event investigation procedures, which include investigation of occupational disasters (including traffic accidents) and abnormal events, hazard identification, safety inspections, and on-site audits to confirm the causes of accidents and propose measures to prevent accidents and correct and prevent their recurrence.

Operating Environment Monitoring and Protection |
|
In accordance with the operating environment monitoring plan, PSMC determines the monitoring locations and sampling plans based on the identification of hazards and risks that have occurred or are potentially present in the workplace. The results of the operating environment monitoring cannot exceed the requirements of the Allowable Exposure Standards for Labor Workplaces as announced by the Ministry of Labor, and if they do, improvement measures must be immediately formulated in accordance with the control measures of the Environmental Safety and Health Risk Assessment Practice, and the effectiveness will be evaluated again and records kept.
In order to grasp the actual working environment of employees and evaluate the exposure of hazardous factors, PSMC performs semi-annual monitoring of items required by law, including chemical hazards (including organic solvents and specific chemical substances), physical hazards, and bacteria testing, in accordance with the Regulations on Implementation of Labor Environment Monitoring. It also commissions an operating environment monitoring organization approved by the Ministry of Labor to perform various environmental testing tasks, review the data of operating environment monitoring results, quantify the variation characteristics of the data distribution, and provide feedback to the next sampling strategy planning for reference, and conduct follow up operating environment monitoring plans and notification of monitoring results.
The operating environment monitoring results and improvement measures are all described in the Safety, Health and Environment Committee meetings to labor representatives and meeting participants for related employees to be well aware of relevant issues and build up good safety and health protection concepts. The 2025 monitoring results all met regulatory requirements.
