CPC LAYS EMPHASIS ON WORKPLACE SAFETY TO CONTROL RISK
Petroleum products and natural gas are highly flammable substances. In handling them, CPC has consequently always placed heavy emphasis on safe working practice as well as specific fire prevention measures, in order to maintain continuity in its operations, protect its employees from harm and safeguard lives and property in the communities surrounding the company’s plants. Apart from compliance with Taiwan’s relevant laws and regulations, CPC has also drafted – and strictly enforces – its own workplace safety and accident-prevention protocols. These are modeled on those of the advanced countries of the EU, the USA and Japan and have been suitably adapted to reflect local conditions and operational characteristics.
CPC SAFETY DISCIPLINES GET FIRST PRIORITY
Industrial safety is the foundation of corporate development. To achieve its goal of ‘100% industrial safety, zero% accidents’ CPC is constantly active in strengthening its workplace safety culture through implementation of a policy based on some basic and well-tried disciplines – such as thorough inspection, concern for employee well-being, responsive healthcare, risk management and systematized operations – in which employee buy-in and continuous improvement are the key elements. Accordingly, CPC’s industrial safety performance has been recognized not only at home but also internationally, as is demonstrated by the medal awarded by the World Safety Organization in 2005; and it has often been a recipient of the annual Excellence in Promotion of Occupational Safety and Health awards from Taiwan’s Ministry of Labor.
