Occupational Safety, Health, and Workplace Environment Law Training Program

The Occupational Safety, Health, and Workplace Environment Law Training Program has been developed based on an employee needs assessment and incorporated into the 2024 annual training plan. CH. Karnchang has implemented this initiative to provide new employees with a comprehensive understanding of relevant laws and regulations governing workplace safety. The program covers key aspects of occupational hazard prevention and control, including physical, biological, and chemical risks. It emphasizes raising employees' awareness of potential workplace hazards and equipping them with effective risk prevention skills. The primary objective is to minimize workplace accidents, particularly in high-risk construction environments, by ensuring that on-site employees can identify potential dangers and apply appropriate safety measures with diligence and a sound understanding of fundamental safety principles.

To strengthen occupational safety and optimize work performance, employees are encouraged to apply acquired knowledge in practical settings to institutionalize sustainable safety standards, minimize occupational hazards, and cultivate a secure working environment. These measures contribute to long-term workforce stability and improved quality of life for employees. Each training session accommodates 60 participants.
