Taiwan’s “Occupational Safety and Health Act” was officially
implemented starting in 2014, and to make sure that relevant
personnel could efficiently grasp the changes in regulations, impacts,
and influences, CTCI sent staff to participate in seminars or training
sessions pertaining to changes in the Workplace Safety Policy held by
government institutions. HSE Management Department has hosted a
series of activities in 2014-2015, and arranged for internal and external
experts and scholars in these perspectives to host training sessions
or onsite lectures so that our employees could further understand the
morals and key points of the revisions in the “Occupational Safety and
Health Act”. This will help in coming up with responses and strategies to
help us achieve the responsibility of ensuring worker's safety and health
and to comply with the law.
As a leading global EPC Company in Taiwan, we have sought for
new breakthroughs in management techniques and tools through
new technologies in recent years. To enhance the effectiveness of
the Company's safety, health, and environmental information and to
strengthen the working of safety, health, and environmental system
in projects, we have established “HSE Comprehensive Performance
Management System” through making use of information technology.
Management information is effectively relayed to offer instant, efficient,
and effective info for the onsite supervisors, safety, health, and
environmental protection personnel and management to enhance the
effectiveness of onsite safety, health, and environmental protection.
This management system is also provided in English version to offer
more comprehensive environmental assurance service for international
projects.
