■ Hardware Safety and Health Management: In practice, APEX's safety and health management is based on the framework of the OHSAS 18001 management system, and uses information technology to continually improve our goals to prevent accidents, improve employee safety and health, and protect company assets.
■ Operation Safety and Health Control: In APEX’s daily operations, we not only prevent accidents through strict controls on high-risk work, contractor management, chemical safety controls, and routine audits, but also maintain emergency response plans and hold regular drills to minimize the impact of potential accidents on the environment, society, employees and property.
■ APEX has set up safety and health working team under CSR committee, which meet regularly to discuss ESH-related matters. APEX endeavors to maintain a safety culture that ensures a safe and healthy workplace. The causes of all occupational injuries are analyzed and improvement programs are implemented based on the data. Our program further requires us to regularly collect and analyze data on the types of high-frequency occupational injuries and departments with higher incident rates. These reviews focus as a first priority on incidents that are relatively serious, affect multiple departments, or happen more frequently.
■ All APEX factories maintain an emergency response center, to implement standardization of emergency response procedure and enhancement of personnel training. APEX drew on past experience to develop a standard exercise to serve as a reference for units with different equipment and facilities to hold drills for fires, gas leaks, chemical spills, power dips, and other accidents.
