Occupational Health and Safety Policy and Philosophy

• The physical and mental health and safety of employees is the most important management focus of the Company, and it is also the top priority in all operating activities. Hence, Nuvoton Technology endeavors to comply with the advanced international safety and health standards and health promotion concepts.
• The Company is committed to the provision and maintenance of a work environment in compliance with the laws and regulations and industrial practices, along with ongoing improvement, so as to prevent any possibility of illness or injury to personnel. Nuvoton puts the concept and attitude of LOHAS in practice for the care of employees, committed to the creation of a happy enterprise.

• Building a healthy and safe work environment makes the cornerstone for the sustainable development at Nuvoton Technology. "Zero occupational accident" is employed as the management goal for occupational safety, health, and wellbeing promotion.

• Pursuant to the Regulations Governing Occupational Safety and Health in Taiwan, a level-1 dedicated occupational safety and health management unit and a level-1 manufacturing unit have been set up at Nuvoton Technology, along with establishment of occupational safety and health supervisors and managing personnel. The " Occupational Safety and Health Committee" is instituted to hold regular meetings quarterly to discuss environmental, safety, and health issues. The President serves as the chair. The occupational safety, health, environmental protection/health management personnel, the management of various units, and labor representatives sit in the committee.

Safety Culture

• It is the responsibility of Nuvoton Technology to go for zero occupational accidents and promote the health of employees, actively establishing and promoting a culture of environmental, health, and safety: “When engaging in any activities, services or production, consider environmental, health, and safety matters in advance.”
• The managers and engineers on production units are in charge of the monthly operation observations. By analyzing the actual operation of colleagues, they empower colleagues to discover potential hazards in the workplace, encourage and recognize their colleagues for their safety behaviors, establish safe operating methods after consultation, discussion, and correction of unsafe items, and improve continuously to prevent hazards. The safety culture and habits are put into practice in daily operations,
• Managers at all levels are to hold meetings with the work safety units for review, conduct safety and health management and communication, so as to improve operation and environmental safety.

Risk Assessment and Management

• To continuously identify and assess various activities, products or services, the use of materials or energy resources involved, and the possible risks and opportunities for personnel safety and health and impacts on the environment arising from operations, Nuvoton Technology has formulated the "Environmental Safety and Health Risk Assessment Procedures."
• Nuvoton Technology formulated various protection management plans for different operation groups in accordance with the laws and regulations. From hazard identification and assessment to work suitability arrangement, outcome assessment and correction, the management is implemented on a rolling basis, aiming to offer employees a safe work environment for operations.
• If an employee finds any concern of danger presented in the work environment, under conditions in which the safety of fellow employees is not jeopardized, he or she may stop working and withdraw to a safe location. Meanwhile, Nuvoton Technology will never impose unfavorable treatment on such employee. Also, employees are encouraged to take the initiative to report any potentially hazardous environment.

Occupational Injury

The statistical analysis of occupational accidents covers all plants in Taiwan. Recordable disabling occupational injuries are calculated based on the disabling injuries in the occupational accidents reported to the Ministry of Labor, and the number of traffic accidents of employees commuting to and from work are excluded.

In 2022, the disabling injury frequency rate was 0.66, and the disabling injury severity rate was 2.31. There were 2 accidents of disabling injuries to employees (work-related falls and trips) with 2 individuals involved, accounting for 0.011% of the total number of employees in 2022; 3 recordable incidents without occupational injury or property damage (2 non-work-related impacts and 1 work-related physical collision); and no occupational injuries to non-employee worker.

Accident investigation and cause analysis have been carried out for each incident. The responsible units were requested to formulate corrective measures to improve the unsafe environment. We strive to build the hazard awareness and the ability for immediate response to unsafety of all workers for ongoing improvement to ensure that all workers can work in a safe and secure environment.

Workplace Health Management

Now that most of the employees are office workers. Sedentary and inactive are the main health concerns, which may easily lead to diseases related to obesity and metabolic syndrome. Therefore, employees are encouraged to eat less and exercise more to be healthier. In 2022, due to COVID-19, the organization of large-scale health promotion activities remained restricted. Hence, Nuvoton mainly encouraged sports clubs to hold outdoor activities. The Walking Club, Cycling Club, Badminton Club, Basketball Club, and so forth organized outdoor activities in compliance with the epidemic prevention policy for health and avoidance of infection. Also, the groups on the app were used to motivate each other to encourage employees to keep regular exercise habits. For groups with metabolic syndrome and abnormal health, either the employees or workers that work at the Company and subject to the supervision of the Company, consultation with clinic doctors, health lectures, and monthly announcements via health e-newsletters and posters are available. Three sessions of online health lectures on hypertension, cardiovascular health care, and diet were held in 2022, participated by a total of 200 employees, who raised questions enthusiastically, Hence, we improved employees’ awareness of disease and health care.
