An investigation into occupational accidents reveals that the majority (>80%) of accidents are caused by human error or unsafe behavior.
The most effective way to prevent such accidents is through labor safety and health training. This training helps promote safe working methods and correct hygiene practices, thereby preventing losses or injuries caused by occupational accidents.
The investigations into occupational accidents found that ‘man-caused factors’ are the major reasons behind these incidents. Approximately 80% of unsafe actions originate from human activities.
The prevention and control measures rely on the promotion of “labor occupational health and safety education and training.” This education and training help establish safe working methods and correct hygiene concepts for employees, effectively preventing losses and damages caused by occupational accidents.
Pursuant to Articles 30 and 31 of the ‘Occupational Safety and Health Act,’ employers are required to institute hazard assessments, controls, and hierarchy management measures for work that is potentially hazardous to maternal health. Violators are subject to a fine ranging from NT$30,000 to NT$300,000.
In accordance with the law, NCHU shall implement maternal health protection measures for its employees. As a result, pregnant employees are granted priority usage of ‘maternity parking spaces’ painted in pink, along with a discount on vehicle parking fees.
Eligibility: Female employees who are pregnant, who have given birth to a child in the most recent one-year period, or who are still breastfeeding.
