Golden Brother International Co., Ltd. held its March 2026 Occupational Safety and Health monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 23, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. via a province-wide video conference. During the meeting, the overall progress of OSH promotion was reported to committee members from all regions. Key promotional items and the results of various inspections were also presented. This meeting particularly focused on regulations related to “Confined Spaces” and the required announcement content, with explanations delivered using various promotional materials from the Ministry of Labor.
After the representatives from each region (Zhongli, Hsinchu, Changhua, Tainan, and Kaohsiung) presented their reports in sequence, Chairman Dr. Wan Gen Lee addressed the following topics:
1. Employee Health Checkups
The company’s biennial employee health examination will be held this Saturday, March 28, 2026, in the morning at Zhongli. Committee members are requested to continue reminding all employees. According to regulations, it is mandatory for employees to participate in health examinations, comply with OSH work rules, and attend OSH education and training. For the protection of personal health, everyone is kindly requested to attend punctually on Saturday.
2. Dormitory Addition and Termination of Lease
The company communicates relevant information to all employees through the official website and intranet. Since dormitory information is provided by the maintenance unit, updates may occasionally be delayed. If any colleague notices missing or outdated dormitory information, please report it immediately so that the information can be updated promptly.
3. OSH Performance Review
Following this year’s reorganization, the various functions of the OSH Committee will be performed in accordance with regulatory requirements. Routine dormitory inspections and improvement matters will be handled directly by the respective regional dormitory supervisors. In addition, the review of the first-quarter OSH performance for this year will be presented at the next meeting.
4. Emergency Response Drill
The first-half-year fire evacuation drill is scheduled for April 13, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. In accordance with the company’s “Zero Tolerance for Fire” policy, all colleagues must evacuate quickly, in an orderly manner, and according to the designated schedule to the assigned assembly point. After the evacuation, employees will be asked to practice the “Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep” technique for operating fire extinguishers. To protect the environment, this drill will once again be conducted using carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.
5. Various Activities in Each Region
Each region has its own unique characteristics in providing services to migrant workers, and all activities are highly popular among them. In the future, if there are any related activities, the company will announce them on the official website. Representatives are kindly requested to inform the relevant personnel of any major regional activities as much as possible, so that the company’s website can be updated in a timely manner and the existing positive image can be maintained.
6. Explanation of Confined Space Regulations
During the previous RBA audit, the company was reminded that for any locations that may meet the statutory definition of “confined spaces” (as defined in Article 19-1 of the Occupational Safety and Health Facilities Regulations), a “Confined Space Operation Hazard Prevention Plan” must be prepared. In addition, a clearly visible announcement must be posted at the entrance of such confined spaces, stating the following:
(1) Entry is permitted only with prior approval;
(2) Measures to be taken when entering the area;
(3) Emergency measures and emergency contact information in case of an accident;
(4) Name of the on-site supervisor;
(5) Other safety precautions to be observed during operations.All regional representatives, together with their supervisors, are requested to inspect relevant areas to determine whether any locations meet the definition of confined spaces, so that the necessary plans can be prepared and announcements posted accordingly.
The above requirements are based on Articles 29-1 and 29-2 of the Occupational Safety and Health Facilities Regulations.To prevent hazards associated with confined spaces, the Ministry of Labor has established a dedicated “Confined Space Operations Zone” on its website. Colleagues are encouraged to refer to the relevant information on the following webpage as needed:

At the conclusion of the meeting, Chairman Lee reminded all units that if there are any personnel changes involving OSH-related affairs, proper handover procedures must be carried out to ensure the continuity and smooth promotion of existing tasks.
The above is a summary of the main content of the March 2026 Occupational Safety and Health Committee Meeting. All regional committee members are welcome to freely offer suggestions for improvement so that we can continue to make further progress.
