Occupational Safety and Health

To provide safe and healthy work environments and comprehensively implement occupational safety and health policies, LAI YIH Group follows regulatory requirements for regional factories in occupational safety and health management, such as: Vietnam’s local Decree No. 39/2016/NĐ-CP (Occupational Safety and Health Implementation Regulations) and Occupational Safety and Health Law, while referencing ISO 45001 occupational safety and health management systems to establish related internal procedures and policies to ensure management professionalism and effectiveness. Each production site has established: Environmental Health Safety System Management Procedures, Occupational Accident Investigation Policy, Health and Environmental Policy, Occupational Accident Investigation Report Management Procedures, Chemical Safety Management Policy, Fire Safety Policy, Electrical Safety Policy, Machine Safety Policy, First Aid Policy, Risk Assessment Policy, etc.

 

In 2025, the implementation rate of occupational health and safety management systems across the Group’s major production sites reached 75%. Certification status is presented in the following table. Although some sites have not yet obtained external certification, this is primarily due to internal assessments indicating relatively low risk levels and the absence of mandatory customer requirements. Nevertheless, all sites fully implement occupational health and safety policies that comply with local legal requirements to ensure employee safety. In addition, all production sites maintain dedicated occupational health and safety units responsible for convening meetings, developing relevant policies, conducting regular follow-up reviews, and monitoring the implementation of occupational health and safety measures.

Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Management Operations

The company’s operational locations have established comprehensive hazard identification and risk assessment management procedures. Once annually, risk assessments, environmental impact assessments, occupational disease hazard monitoring, and environmental monitoring are conducted for all departments, processes, machines, and equipment. Through risk identification, potential hazards are identified, risk levels are assessed, and classifications are made according to different risks (unacceptable risk, high risk, medium risk, and low risk). Control measures are then formulated accordingly, while continuously tracking the effectiveness of various preventive measures and optimizing them. Additionally, all production sites regularly conduct fire inspections, monthly equipment maintenance, weekly checks to ensure production lines comply with safety standards, and monthly morning meetings for safety promotion, hoping to maximize the effectiveness of advance prevention.

 

All production sites have implemented related safety measures, such as safety protection for machinery and equipment, and personal protective equipment (PPE). If employees assess that there may be concerns about injury or health damage when performing work, they have the right to immediately refuse or stop potentially dangerous work and will not be punished for such actions. Following established company regulations, unsafe conditions in factories are notified and reported according to regulations.

 

▽ Occupational Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Process

1
 
List all processes and work types existing in each workplace
2
 
List all potential hazards for each process/work type
3
 
Define the subjects affected by each listed hazard
4
 
List all available control measures for each listed hazard
5
 
Conduct risk assessment for each hazard Note
6
Develop additional control measures for significant hazards (high-risk hazards)

▽ Occupational Injury Prevention Measures

 

Occupational InjuriesOccupational Diseases

1. Caught-in/Caught-between Incidents (Caught or Crushed by Machinery)

  • Install machine guards and emergency stop buttons
  • Employees are strictly prohibited from repairing machinery without authorization. Regular maintenance and pre-operation safety inspections are conducted.
  • Provide appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), prohibit loose clothing
  • Conduct machinery safety and hazardous area operation training

2. Cuts, Lacerations, and Abrasions

  • Provide instruction on safety rules and correct operating procedures.
  • Employees performing cutting operations or handling objects with sharp edges are required to wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
  • Strengthen machinery operation SOP training.

3. Contact with high/low temperatures

  • Provide thermal protection personal protective equipment (gloves, aprons, etc.)
  • Install insulation or barriers around hot/cold surfaces
  • Set warning signs and restrict access to high-risk areas
  • Provide temperature hazard awareness training
  • Set up emergency first aid kits for burns or frostbite
  • Maintain machines annually
  • Provide appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • Provide annual occupational disease health checkups for relevant employees
