Golden Brother International Co., Ltd. held its May 2025 monthly occupational safety and health (OSH) meeting on Thursday, May 15th at 3:00 PM. During the meeting, the overall progress and achievements related to OSH initiatives were presented to all committee members.
In addition to reports from local OSH committee members on implementation status in each area, Chairman Mr. Lee Wan-Chin presented the following key updates and requested cooperation from all regions:
1. Fall Risk
Due to a recent spike in domestic workplace accidents involving falls, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued a reminder for companies to provide adequate safety protection for workers operating at heights to prevent such incidents.
2. Solar Panel Installation Project
Negotiations between Taiwan and the United States regarding tariff issues remain unresolved. As a result, the solar panel installation project at the Minghu Facility is temporarily on hold and will be reconsidered once the tariff situation becomes clearer.
3. Resurgence of COVID-19
In light of a renewed spread of COVID-19, colleagues are reminded to pay close attention to personal hygiene and health when visiting public spaces.
4. Health Promotion at the Changhua Fuxing Facility
To reduce the risk of fire and promote migrant workers’ health, colleagues at the Fuxing Facility are requested to continue educating workers about the dangers of smoking. Additionally, support from employers should be sought regarding administrative control measures.
5. RBA SVAP Audit
Since March 13th, when the RBA informed the company that SVAP audits would be suspended, there have been no further updates about the possibility of other units conducting audits. If clients inquire about the SVAP status, please inform them of the current situation. Golden Brother International Co., Ltd. will provide updates as soon as new information becomes available.
6. Greenhouse Gas Inventory
The 2024 greenhouse gas inventory report by Golden Brother International Co., Ltd. (formerly referred to as 家興人力) has not yet been completed. Once finalized, the results will be announced on the company website, and the full report will be made available on the internal company network.
7. Electrical Safety Promotion
The company shares labor development announcements from the Ministry of Labor through the official website daily and also promotes safety awareness to migrant workers via the GB Serce App. Employees are encouraged to check the “Migrant Worker Promotion” section under “Latest News” on the website for available electrical safety resources. If needed materials are already posted, they may be downloaded and shared; otherwise, new content in four languages will be prepared.
8. Cleanliness Inside and Outside Dormitories
Keeping dormitories clean and organized is a shared responsibility among all staff and migrant workers. Cigarette butts and general waste should be properly cleaned up without waiting for cleaning staff. This helps ensure a safe and hygienic living environment. Dormitory managers are especially reminded to remain attentive. In cases where dormitories are co-managed with other institutions, necessary communication and coordination should be conducted to maintain cleanliness together.
9. Health Quarterly
Each quarter, the company publishes the “Health Quarterly” under the “Sustainable Management” section of the internal network, specifically in the “OSH Promotion Documents” tab under “Occupational Safety and Health.” Employees who wish the company to assist in promoting a specific topic are welcome to submit requests to facilitate follow-up communication and information distribution.
After the meeting, Presdient Li specifically reminded OSH committee members in the Changhua region to continue promoting the setup and awareness of designated smoking areas for migrant workers. Meeting client expectations and supporting the “Zero Tolerance for Fire” policy are key areas where Golden Brother International Co., Ltd. must continue to work diligently in order to ensure the safety and health of all parties.
