4.2.2 Industrial Safety and Health
Safety and Healthy work environment
UMC has established a company-wide safety and health committee. Each factory also has its own such committee. The
committee chairman of the UMC safety and health committee is a company manager above the rank of deputy general
manager. There are eight factory managers (department managers), five managers from the engineering department,
one manager from the safety and sanitation management department, one nurse and ten labor representatives from
factories in the UMC committee, meaning that labor representatives make up 40% of the committee members.

Build a “Safety is My Responsibility” company
culture
UMC believes that taking care of employees and building
a safe workplace is the responsibility of the company.
We set safe equipment design as a foundation for the
company's safety and health management, and we
ensure that the view "Safety Is My Responsibility" is
part of our company culture. Looking forward, we hope
that achievements in safety and health management will
translate into positive business operating results.
September 2005, proclaimed by the chairman of the
board to promote " Safety is My Responsibility " culture,
Our objectives since 2005:
Short-term (from 2005 to 2007): Instilling the "Safety
Is My Responsibility" DNA
In September 2005, UMC's chairman declared that
"Safety Is My Responsibility" and "Caring for Others"
Engineering and
Technical Personnel
(five factory affairs and
technical department
managers)
One nurse
would be an integral part of the safety culture. "Be aware
of my own safety as well as the safety of others" and
"Safety is everyone's responsibility, and my personal
accountability" would be the slogans. UMC strengthened
the concept of "individual behavioral safety" and set up
a reward system to embed the concept of "Safety Is My
Responsibility"
Mid-term (2008-2010): Expand the safety culture
Enhance discipline control. Take human error incidents
as guidance, and combined with inspections and audits,
strengthen division through individual safety selfmanagement.
Develop the ability of employees to identify
problems. Set up a safety network as the structure and
foundation of the safety culture.
Long-term (2011-2015): Corporate culture
development
Cultivate attention to safety as a habit for employees.
The safety of employees' daily life and work life are
assets of the company. Translate the slogan "Safety Is
My Responsibility" from words into action. Complete the
safety network structure.

business culture
In 2012, aligned with the company’s operations, UMC
promoted safety awareness for colleagues on the topics
of “Strengthening Contractor Management,,” “Equipment
Heat and Fire Safety,” “No Missed Safety Issues,”
“Employee rotation and supplier incident prevention”
and “Life safety” video shooting. The main purpose is to
remind employees that workers may ignore health and
safety precautions; therefore to enhance the safety of
colleagues and suppliers, safety discipline should be
practiced to reduce accidents.
