EXECUTIVE YUAN Order is hereby given, for designating the enforcement date of the promulgated amendment on partial articles of "Occupational Safety and Health Act" to be 1st, July 2026.

The amendment to the Occupational Safety and Health Act this time consists of a total of thirteen points. For enterprises that do not operate production factories, the five most important items are as follows. If the company is involved in production or subcontracting, please also pay special attention to the inspection and management of “hazard notification” and “machinery and equipment”:

1. Expanded Definition of Awareness: Any anonymous reports or online disclosures regarding a company will require the enterprise to immediately initiate an investigation.
2. Zero Tolerance and Hefty Fines: The maximum fine can reach NT$4.5 million, and the name of the company’s responsible person will be publicly disclosed.
3. Violation on a Single Instance: As long as the severity is sufficient, a single instance of public humiliation or violence constitutes workplace bullying.
4. Strict Investigation Procedures: Among the internal and external investigation committee members, internal committee members must undergo at least three hours of training.
5. Prohibition of Adverse Treatment: Whistleblowers are protected. If an enterprise takes any adverse action against a whistleblower, it will face heavy penalties.

The Ministry of Labor has compiled the key points of this amendment into an easy-to-understand “summary digest” (懶人包) format to assist enterprises in reviewing the changes and making necessary self-adjustments.
