The scope covers all business activities including product R&D, procurement, operations and manufacturing, and logistics. All parties shall adhere to this policy and fulfill their due diligence responsibilities to achieve sustainable development.

The Company demonstrates occupational safety and health performance in accordance with the following principles:

• Potential health and safety hazards (e.g., chemical, electrical, and other energy, fire, vehicle, and fall hazards) that employees may encounter should be identified , assessed, and controlled through proper design, engineering and control management, preventive maintenance and safety operation procedures, and ongoing safety training. To reduce risks, we leverage “hierarchical of controls” (such as elimination of hazards, using alternative processes and materials, etc.), and provide employees with appropriate, quality personal protective equipment as well as ongoing training and education on potential risks. Reasonable measures must be taken to ensure pregnant and breastfeeding women are kept away from hazardous work environments.
• Identify and assess potential emergencies and incidents. Emergency response programs and procedures should be put in place to reduce hazards to life, environment, and property, including emergency reporting, personnel notification, evacuation procedures, worker training and drills, appropriate fire detection and suppression systems , adequate escape facilities, and recovery plans.
• We shall implement procedures and systems in place to prevent, manage, track, and report work-related injuries and occupational diseases. These include provisions to encourage employees to report incidences; categorize and document occurrences of work-related injuries and occupational diseases; provide necessary medical treatment ; investigate cases and implement remedial action to resolve underlying causes, and support employees in resuming work.
• We shall assess, evaluate, and contain the potential situation of employees coming into contact with chemical, biological, and physical substances. In the event that engineering methods and management are not adequate to contain hazards, appropriate personal protective equipment should be provided to employees.
• Risks associated with physical demanding work should be identified, assessed, and managed, including manually transporting materials or frequently lifting heavy objects, standing for long periods, and doing highly repetitive or strenuous assembly work.
• Potential safety risks associated with production equipment and other types of machinery should be properly assessed. To prevent possible injuries to employees from machine-related injuries, physical guards, interlocking devices, and barriers must be provided and properly maintained.
• Providing employees with clean restrooms, clean drinking water, and food. Dormitories provided to employees must be sanitary and secure, with sufficient lighting and hot water for showering, proper air circulation, adequate personal and storage space, as well as sufficient emergency exits.
• Provide employees with information and training material on occupational health and safety in their language, so to help them recognize all workplace-related hazards that they may be exposed to, such as mechanical, electrical, chemical, fire, and physical hazards. Display information related to occupational health and safety in visible places in the workplace or display in location where employees can clearly see and gain access to. Regularly train all employees before and after they commence work. Employees should feel at ease to report any health and safety concerns without fear of reprisals.
• Organize various wellness events to increase employees' health awareness.
