Since both petroleum products and natural gas are highly flammable, CPC has always placed
        
        
          extreme emphasis on industrial safety, healthcare and fire prevention in order to maintain
        
        
          continuity of operations, protect its employees from harm and safeguard lives and property in
        
        
          communities neighboring the company's plants. As well as upholding Taiwan's relevant laws and
        
        
          regulations, CPC has also drafted – and strictly enforces throughout its operations - safety and
        
        
          accident-prevention protocols modeled on those of advanced countries in Europe and also the
        
        
          USA and Japan and suitably adapted to reflect actual conditions in Taiwan and the character of
        
        
          CPC's operations.
        
        
          
            Establishing safety regulations and accident-prevention standards
          
        
        
          Industrial safety is the foundation of corporate development. To achieve its goal
        
        
          of "100% industrial safety and 0 accidents" CPC is constantly strengthening its
        
        
          safety culture and upholds a policy whose main elements are: safety disciplines
        
        
          and thorough inspection; promotion of health and responsible care; risk
        
        
          management; systematic operations; continuous improvement; and sustainability
        
        
          in operations. CPC's industrial safety performance is recognized not only at home
        
        
          but also internationally, as shown by the medal awarded by the World Safety
        
        
          Organization in 2005.
