Occupational Health and Safety management unit

Primax believes that providing a safe and healthy workplace for employees is the company's fundamental obligation and responsibility. To effectively safeguard the rights and interests of employees concerning health and safety, each Primax Group facility forms an Occupational Health and Safety Committee, consisting of representatives from both labor and management, in accordance with localregulations. Regular meetings are held to allow employees to raise issues they encounter or may encounter in their work environment, and to implement improvements and preventive measures for a safer and more comfortable workplace.

The employee representatives account for about 50 % of the committee members in the territories of Taiwan, which is superior than that defined under Taiwan's laws and regulations. The committee convenes one meeting quarterly. Each factory site in Mainland China arranges for OH&S-related issues to be communicated through quarterly or annual employee meetings in accordance with local laws and regulations.The labor ratio is about 1 . 4 %~ 6 %. Thailand Plant arranges 5 labor representatives to participate in the monthly safety meetings in accordance with local laws andregulations, and the labor ratio is over 50 %. The unit in charge of EHS communicates with employees on occupational health and safety issues based on the operation ofthe plant and annual work priorities, including training planning and implementation status, review on false alarms and occupational injuries, statistics on the occupancy of the infirmary, review and improvement of deficiencies found during the audit, fire safety, equipment operation safety, electrical safety, and chemical safety, etc..

Occupational hazard identification and risk assessmentprocedures

Primax identifies Occupational Health and Safety hazards and assesses risks by following the terms of ISO 45001 : 2018 , which requires a separate hazard identification team to be assembled as part of the environmental safety and health management system.

Primax conducts the hazard identification and risk assessment each year, applicable to all routine or non-routine activities, any activities or services conducted by employees, contractors, suppliers,or visitors within the workplace, as well as all facilities provided by the organization orother units within the workplace.Issues that have been identified as high-risk and above using the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Worksheet are prioritized for improvement and provide the basis for future Occupational Health and Safety goals and plans, whereas issues of lower risk level are managed as part of routine activities.

In 2023 , a total of 1,138 occupational safety and health hazard identification and risk assessment operations were performed at the main manufacturing sites (seven plant areas) in China and Thailand, free from any high-risk items. We continue to identify potential occupational safety and health hazards actively through measures, such as tour inspections, internal audits and external audits. A total of 939 deficiencies were identified in 2023 , and the improvement rate 99 . 4 %. Meanwhile, we continue to follow up those that have not yet been improved.

Incident reporting and investigation procedures

All plant sites of Primax Group have implemented "Safety and Health Incident Reporting Procedures" and "Incident Investigation and Resolution Procedures"; workers are able to escalate any work-related injuries, accidents, and close calls to the line manager/shift leader/head of production line/security staff upon occurrence.

Should any occupational hazard and danger be reported by workers and execution of related operations be found endangering personal safety, workers are allowed to cease work activities or take appropriate response measures and evacuate from the workplace. The Company may not reduce workers' wage or benefits, or terminate employment or contract with workers, for the above actions.

In the event of injury or death, workers are expected to call the emergency reporting hotline immediately andhelp the injured seek medical attention, and shall notify and file reports with relevant government agencies within 24 hours. For each incident occurred, the Company will assign a level to the investigation depending on the severity, and then assemble aninvestigation team comprising members from appropriate levels of management to establish the cause of accident as well as improvement solutions.
