Occupational Safety and Health Management
Brogent’s occupational safety and health management covers the entire body of employees and contractors. Brogent has also incorporated occupational safety and health into the Company’s sustainable development strategies, which include safety and hygiene policies, organization, system planning and implementation; emphasis on management systems such as risk management, procurement management, change management and contractor management. That is to say, that we manage and control safety risks in process, materials, equipment and operations from the source. We have also revised our management guidelines such as the “Occupational Safety and Health Management Plan” and “Occupational Safety and Health Work Rules” in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act of the Ministry of Labor and require all of our employees and contractors to comply to these regulations in order to promote the implementation of operations related to occupational safety and health. We also continually improve our occupational safety and health management and our performance on safety and health in order to meet the Company’s current operational needs and effectively reduce hazards and risks in the workplace so as to strengthen business performance and competitiveness.

The Human Resource Dept. of the Company’s Administration Center is responsible for the occupational safety operations of the Company. It identifies hazards (including chemical, physical, biological, and ergonomic hazards) in the Company’s work environment from time to time and conducts risk assessments (including the necessary environmental inspection and biological detection) to implement management of potential risks (including source management, path management, administration, and health management).

Although Brogent has not yet established a graded management system for serious occupational injuries, we will look into a classification based on the number of working hours affected, in order manage hazards that may cause occupational injuries. If a hazard causes an occupational injury that will require at least 8 hours of rest before returning to work, it is defined as having the risk of severe occupational injury. We also plan to periodically conduct audits of the working environment and step up promotions to raise employees' occupational safety awareness in response to the impact of various hazards, such as factory safety and falling from heights, in order to lower the probability of serious occupational injuries.

Occupational Safety and Health Committee
Brogent established an Occupational Safety and Health Committee in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Management Regulations. The committee is formed by 10 members, including the president, heads of various departments, and employee representatives. Among them, there are 4 employee (labor) representatives, accounting for 40%.

The Occupational Safety and Health Committee is responsible for formulating and improving occupational safety policies. The committee holds meetings every quarter. The occupational safety unit reports matters to be handled in the previous meeting, recent regulatory updates, and review of occupational safety work. Supervisors and labor representatives attending the meeting discuss reports, list matters that require implementation or improvement as matters to be handled, and track the implementation status. The Committee convened 4 meetings in 2023 and its major decisions on health and safety included onsite healthcare services, onsite pandemic prevention management of contractors, continuous management of internal and external environmental sanitation of offices, establishment of traffic regulations in the area, and the movement of people and vehicles when employees arrive at or leave work, warehouse and R&D project site applications and electricity consumption management, and safety and health management requirements for contractors. It has made announcements to all employees.

Environmental safety improvement measures
We audit the construction safety management, contractor management, and the implementation of safety procedures during construction at various sites through monthly internal and external occupational safety audits, in order to achieve early discovery of potential environmental, facility, and operational hazards for correction and improvement, reducing the occurrence of hazard incidents and ensuring the work safety of personnel. A total of 11 deficiencies (including suggestions) were found in 2023, and review and improvement has been completed for all deficiencies.

Occupational safety training
To achieve the goal of "zero occupational accidents in the workplace," Brogent continues to provide all employees with occupational safety and health-related training. For contractors, we provide training on safety and health management, inform them of hazards on site, and have them sign a declaration, which reminds workers to immediately suspend operations and report any hazards they discover during operations. We ensure that workers are not punished in such situations. In 2023, there were no occupational accidents or occupational illnesses, nor were there any penalties for violations of the Labor Standards Act or the Occupational Safety and Health Act.







Health promotion
As Brogent is an IT company, most employees sit in front of a computer and work for long hours. We therefore organize health activities and spiritual health seminars to improve employees' physical and mental health as well as adopt preventive measures for potential risks to workplace health.

In terms of hazardous risks in the workplace, the Company actively reviews and improves the work environment to eliminate risk factors in the environment. In terms of employees' health promotion, the Company organizes employee health examinations in accordance with regulations and appoints onsite healthcare professionals to provide services. For employees with high health risks, we actively provide consultation and recommendations and follow up on their progress. We also organize mental and spiritual health seminars and fitness contests from time to time to increase employees' health.

1. Onsite Medical Service
Brogent signed an on-site medical service contract with "Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital." Based on the Company's number of insured people and the industry category, Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital dispatches 3 nurses with occupational medical licenses every month and 3 doctors with occupational medical licenses every year (2 hours each time) to the Company to provide on-site health services. In 2023, a total of 39 people used the on-site medical consultation service.

The Company reviewed the workplace environment and work procedures and analyzed five major hazard factors including chemical, physical, ergonomic, biological, and social (psychological) hazards for potential causes of occupational diseases and identified risks to ensure early detection and rapid implementation of preventive measures. The onsite healthcare team of Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital helps the Company identify risks of occupational diseases, propose prevention recommendations, and follow up on the effectiveness of improvements.

4. Regular Employee Health Check-ups
Brogent fully subsidizes employees' health checkup once every two years, and arranges doctors to come to the company after the health checkup for free consultation to help employees understand and track the results of the health checkup.
