Wellell is committed to creating a safe and healthy work environment by adhering to occupational safety and health regulations. The Company has established an Occupational Safety and Health Committee and an Occupational Safety and Health Unit to enhance workplace safety and promote the well-being of employees. At the same time, Wellell has established occupational safety management regulations that apply to all employees and vendors. The Occupational Safety and Health Committee is made up of 11 members, including occupational safety and health personnel, supervisors from each department, employee representatives. The employee representatives total 5 members, accounting for 45% and exceeding the statutory requirement. The Committee meets quarterly to discuss topics such as annual occupational safety and health education and training, employee health management, and occupational disease prevention. The results of these discussions are announced and made available to all employees. In addition, the Occupational Safety and Health Unit actively promotes disaster prevention concepts and workplace safety measures for both employees and vendors. In 2023, a total of 15 courses were organized, in which 416 participants were trained in a total of 718.5 training hours.
Occupational Safety Management
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Operations
Wellell
carries out the necessary hazard identification and risk assessment of work
content and workplace environments, focusing on routine and non-routine
activities, overwork-related diseases, and maternity protection. The
identification of hazards makes it possible to recognize potential risks and
define appropriate management measures. In this regard, the Company has
developed and implemented specific operational guidelines, including the
Procedures for the Prevention of Ergonomic Hazards, Procedures for the
Prevention of Overwork, Procedures for the Prevention of Unlawful
Infringement in the Workplace, and Procedures for Maternity Health
Protection. These measures each serve as a basis for the management and
mitigation of risks. At the same time, Wellell found that employees working
on assembly lines were at risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders due
to maintaining a constant posture over long periods of time. In 2023, the
Company arranged for medical professionals to visit the workplace, assess
risks, and make recommendations to improve employees' posture. To date, no
employee has been diagnosed with a related occupational disease.
Emergency Response Measures and Mitigation of Occupational Injuries and
Accidents
In the event of an emergency, the safety of our
employees is our top priority. To enhance employees' emergency response
capabilities, Wellell conducts regular fire safety education and emergency
evacuation drills every six months. These drills are designed to familiarize
employees with evacuation routes and the operation of fire safety equipment.
The results of these drills are also reported to the local fire authorities.
In addition, the Operating Standards for Handling Accidents have been
formulated internally to prevent occupational safety and health-related
injuries from happening and ensure the safety of employees. In the event of
an emergency, managers as well as occupational safety and health personnel
are notified immediately. The emergency response protocol is activated,
which provides for rescue operations, evacuation of personnel, and medical
treatment of injured persons by contacting the emergency services. At the
same time, a follow-up investigation of the incident is conducted to
determine the necessary improvement measures and to ensure that future
incidents are avoided.
Health Promotion Activities
Wellell strives to offer its employees a balanced, healthy, and happy working environment. We organize diversified health promotion activities to help employees develop exercise habits and protect their health after work.
