Management Structure and System
The Company has established a "Safety and Health
Committee" according to legal regulations, and the
Committee has 18 members. In which, 6 members (1/3 of
total members) are representatives from the labor side in
the labor-management conference. Routine meetings are
held every 3 months to evaluate matters related to the
management of safety and health, and results are recorded
and publicly announced to all employees. Prior to these
meetings, we always Conduct BBS surveys to the employees
in our HQ to understand the levels of employee awareness
in information pertaining to safety, health, environment,
and health promotions. Additionally, employees could
also provide suggestions in these surveys. In 2008, CTCI
has received TOSHMS certification, demonstrating CTCI's
commitment to employee participation, procurement safety
management, and contractor management, and in 2012, the
certification was further transformed to CNS 15506. Moreover,
we have also established a safety, health, and environment
management system according to ISO 14001 and OHSAS
18001 standards. This recognizes CTCI as the first company
to simultaneously receive certification for quality and safety,
health, and environmental management in the engineering
industry in Taiwan. In 2005, Our General Manager has
also announced a statement on our safety, health, and
environmental policy, and the scope of which includes our
HQ and various project sites. We also routinely rectifies our
safety, health and environmental policy, which is co-signed
and approved by supervisors in various business units and
the General Manager, and demonstrates our emphasis on
safety, health, and the environment to our clients.
CTCI's safety, health, and environment risk assessment
procedure was established according to OHSAS 18001/ISO
14001 management systems and in reference to the principles
of the ISO 31000. Our administration department would
coordinate and handle safety, health, and environmental
risks in the Company HQ Office, and the risks are evaluated
annually, and improvements or regulatory measures are
proposed for risks that cannot be tolerated. Risk evaluation
during project execution is carried out at the start of the
project and also re-evaluated on an annual basis. When
there are changes in construction methods, equipment,
or procedures, and/or abnormal improvements to safety,
health, or the environment and major workers-safety related
incidents, corrective measures would be proposed and the
hazard and risk evaluations would be conducted once again.
Unit supervisors would assign internal qualified personnel to
carry out assessment and evaluation; when necessary, safety,
health, and environmental risk evaluation team would also be
formed to evaluate potential hazards.
The overall process of dynamic management will induce
the Company to devote much attention toward insufficiencies
and making improvements, and thus create the optimal safety,
health, and environmental factors for employees in a positive
cycle. To ensure labor safety, during the designing phase
of a project, we would undertake design safety verification
processes according to Procedures for Assessment and
Verification for Hazardous Work Environment,” which conforms
with the API and IEC international standards, in order to
enhance the overall safety of the operating grounds. During
construction phase, we also require all facilitating vendors
to abide by legal compliance and contract requirements,
and to establish workplace safety and health regulatory unit
and staff, and to form a construction site negotiation unit
according to legal requirements. The negotiation unit will
mediate matters pertaining to safety and health issues in joint-
operational areas between different vendors. Additionally, in
addition to complying with CTCI standards, overseas projects
also need to comply with legal regulations and requirements.

Hazard Identification
Assessors assess potential hazard factors from workplace,
equipment and operations that could lead to fatality,
human injury, ill health, damage to property or the damage
of workplace through site survey, interview or meeting
discussions.
Risk assessment
Based on assessors’ profession and experience, each
potential hazard factor is quantitatively assessed for severity,
probability, and effectiveness of risk control, and according
to the assessment, risk value would be calculated to identify
high-risk hazard factors.
For the high-risk factors, improvement and control measures
would be proposed and implemented, and additionally,
implementations of measures would be audited to ensure that
they are effective.
