Global Occupational Safety and Health Management System
LITEON operates its occupational health and safety management system in accordance with ISO 45001. In 2025, the Company reviewed and established its Occupational Safety and Health Management Policy, which applies to all LITEON employees and was implemented following approval by the Chairman.
LITEON has appointed a dedicated Environment, Health, and Safety management representative, assumed by the highest-level supervisor of the Corporate Service Center, to oversee occupational safety and health management. Beginning in 2025, LITEON expanded its occupational health and safety management structure to Southeast Asia, including Vietnam and Thailand, and to the Americas, including the United States and Mexico. Dedicated occupational safety and health units were established in each region.
The scope of the management system covers employees, contractors, suppliers, visitors, and other persons performing work or visiting LITEON sites. All regions are subject to the Environmental, Health, and Safety Management System established and coordinated by LITEON’s Taiwan headquarters, in addition to applicable local laws and regulations.
ISO 45001 Certified Sites
| Region | ISO 45001 Certified Sites |

Worker Participation and Consultation
LITEON convenes a Global Occupational Safety and Health Committee meeting quarterly to review occupational safety and health management system performance, significant hazards, corrective actions, training effectiveness, and feedback from employees and occupational safety representatives across regions.
The Occupational Safety and Health Committee in Taiwan consists of 75 members, including 38 labor representatives elected through employer-employee meetings. Labor representatives account for 51% of the Committee and participate in the review and development of occupational safety and health policies and measures.
LITEON has also established an occupational safety officer system beyond regulatory requirements. Monthly coordination meetings enable occupational safety officers to communicate frontline risks, discuss safety concerns, and follow up on improvement measures.

Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Incident Prevention
LITEON adopts the principles of advanced prevention, zero accidents, and zero disasters. The management scope covers all business activities and persons working at or visiting LITEON sites, including employees, contractors, suppliers, and visitors.
Environment, Health, and Safety units conduct annual environmental issue identification, hazard identification, and occupational safety and health risk assessments. Assessments are reviewed whenever operating processes change, regulations are updated, or new risk factors arise.
Based on historical incident analysis and hazard assessment results, physical hazards associated with machinery and equipment operations, particularly caught-in and entanglement incidents, are among LITEON’s primary occupational safety risks.
Hierarchy of Controls
| Risk Level | Primary Controls |
|---|---|
| High and Medium Risk | Elimination or substitution of hazards, engineering improvements, enclosure or isolation, ventilation systems, equipment safety devices, and maintenance controls. |
| Low Risk | Administrative controls, warning signs, exposure management, education and training, health examinations, inspections, and personal protective equipment. |
Employees and other workers who identify imminent danger have the right to leave the work area, move to a safe location, and report the condition to the responsible department. Exercising the right to retreat from imminent danger will not result in disciplinary action.
Core Safety Management Mechanisms
- Equipment Sign-Off safety testing for machinery and safety components.
- Job Hazard Analysis and Job Safety Analysis for high-risk operations and previous incidents.
- Management of Change reviews for production, chemical, building, and fire-protection changes.
- Procurement safety assessments and Safety Gemba Walks.
- Fire responsibility zones and emergency response management.
- Incident investigation, root-cause analysis, corrective action, and reassessment.
- Internal audits, self-inspections, and third-party verification.
Contractor Safety Management
LITEON incorporates applicable environmental protection, occupational safety, and health requirements into contractual terms based on the characteristics and risks of contracted work. Safety and health management support is provided before, during, and after contractor operations.
In 2025, all LITEON plants in Taiwan fully implemented the Contractor Management System. The system incorporates contractor qualification reviews and ongoing performance assessments, including reviews of safety documentation, training records, actual work performance, regulatory violations, and operational risk management capabilities.
