Occupational health and safety management
To align with international trends in occupational health and safety management, enhance regulatory compliance, and proactively respond to customers' focus on occupational health and safety issues, Primax Group has implemented the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System at its Taipei headquarters and major production sites. These include three Primax facilities in China, the Primax Thailand plant, two Tymphany facilities in China, as well as facilities in Thailand and the Czech Republic, totaling nine sites. All sites have undergone external verification by a third-party certification body, SGS, and have obtained ISO 45001 certification. The scope of the management system covers 100% of all workers across the Group, including employees as well as both regular and temporary non-employee workers. All production sites and the Primax (Taipei) Headquarters regularly conduct internal and external audits; although the Tymphany (Taipei) and other office sites have not yet undergone external verification for ISO 45001, they are still governed by the Group's Occupational Health and Safety Management System and related management processes.
Occupational Health and Safety management unit
Primax believes that providing employees with a safe and healthy workplace is a fundamental obligation and responsibility of the Company. To effectively protect employees' health and safety rights, all Group facilities have established Occupational Health and Safety Committees composed of labor and management representatives in accordance with local regulations. These committees hold regular meetings to ensure that employees can raise concerns about existing or potential issues in their working environments. The resulting improvements and preventive measures help create a safer and more comfortable workplace.
In Taiwan, the Occupational Health and Safety Committee holds quarterly meetings, all of which are attended by employee representatives. At facilities in Mainland China, occupational health and safety issues are communicated through worker-related meetings arranged quarterly or annually in line with local regulations, with employee representatives participating in every meeting. In Thailand, five employee representatives are designated to attend monthly safety meetings as required by local regulations. In the Czech Republic, the plant continues to maintain an employee participation system, holding monthly labor meetings that provide all employees with opportunities to express their views on working conditions and occupational safety, thereby fostering robust communication mechanisms.
Starting in 2024, to coordinate the Group's occupational health and safety management resources, systems, objectives, and audits, as well as to fulfill customer requirements, ensure compliance with local laws, and further advance internal sustainability goals, an HSE Office was established under the Chairman. This office communicates with employees on occupational health and safety issues based on site operations and annual priorities. The scope of these communications broadly covers training planning and execution, near-miss and injury incident reviews, medical facility usage statistics, audit findings and corrective actions, fire safety, equipment operation safety, electrical safety, and chemical safety.
Occupational hazard identification and risk assessment process
Primax conducts occupational health and safety hazard identification and risk assessment in accordance with the requirements of ISO 45001:2018. The Company has clearly defined that the Environmental, Health, and Safety Management System Implementation Team must establish a Hazard Identification Team, which includes representatives from all departments. Departmental representatives are individuals who have received training in hazard identification and risk assessment and have been certified as qualified personnel. Primax carries out hazard identification and risk assessment annually. These activities cover both routine and non-routine operations and include activities and services involving Primax employees, contractors, suppliers, and visitors entering the workplace, as well as facilities provided by the organization or other parties within the work environment.
Any risk levels screened and classified as high or above in the hazard identification and risk assessment forms are prioritized for improvement and serve as a critical basis for setting occupational health and safety objectives and plans. Lower-level risks are incorporated into routine operational controls.
In 2025, Primax (Taipei) Headquarters and major manufacturing sites conducted 2,563 occupational health and safety hazard identifications and risk assessments, with no high-risk items identified. The sites continued to proactively identify potential hazards and risks through inspections, internal audits, and external audits. Throughout 2025, a total of 871 deficiencies were identified, achieving an improvement rate of 100%, with ongoing follow-up for items yet to be fully addressed.
Incident reporting and investigation procedures
All Primax Group sites have established internal procedures for the reporting of health and safety incidents as well as procedures for incident investigation and handling. In the event of a work-related injury or nearmiss incident, workers can immediately report to their supervisor, team leader, line leader, or security personnel.
All workers have the right to stop work or, after taking any feasible emergency measures, evacuate the workplace if they report occupational hazards or dangerous conditions or encounter situations that directly endanger personal safety while performing their duties. The Company must not reduce wages, benefits, or other entitlements, or terminate or dissolve the employment contract as a consequence of such actions taken by workers in good faith.
When an incident involving injury or fatality occurs, the designated emergency hotline must be called immediately to arrange for medical assistance. Relevant government authorities must be notified and incident report forms completed within 24 hours. The Company shall classify the severity of each incident to determine the appropriate level of investigation. A corresponding investigation team will be assembled for each level to identify root causes and develop corrective measures. The Company shall implement and rigorously control these measures, and, based on the findings of the incident investigation, revise related health and safety procedures to prevent recurrence of similar incidents.
Training and injury prevention
To effectively improve workplace safety across all sites and proactively build a low-injury work environment that safeguards employees' occupational health and safety, Primax Group has enhanced training and awareness initiatives targeting senior managers, safety auditors, and all employees. In addition to regularly providing occupational health and safety education and training on topics such as first aid, machine safety, chemical safety, radiation safety, hazard risk identification, occupational hygiene, emergency response, and occupational disease prevention, each production facility also organizes periodic training for safety officers to obtain relevant certifications. In line with environmental management requirements, the Group has actively delivered training on energy conservation, waste-free landfill practices, and waste gas treatment. These programs not only build awareness of occupational health and safety risks but also reinforce environmental sustainability awareness among employees. In 2025, Primax Group offered a wide range of training programs covering fire evacuation, chemical safety, zero landfill waste practices, energy conservation knowledge, and evacuation drills, with a total of 21,903 employee participations. The total training investment amounted to NT$795,904.
All sites also strictly manage in-plant equipment. Any new installations or modifications must undergo review by HSE personnel before implementation to mitigate the risk of accidental incidents. These measures reflect the Group's strong commitment to creating an environmentally responsible, safe, and healthy workplace. We have established comprehensive emergency response system procedures to protect employees in the event of fires, earthquakes, explosions, natural disasters, or workplace accidents.
Contractor Safety Management
In addition to complying with local regulations, Primax also assumes responsibility for the occupational safety of its employees and non-employed workers. Primax Group establishes the“ Procedurefor Management of Contractors' Construction Safety” in the plants in China, and“ Procedure for Management of Contractors' Construction Operation” in the locations in Taiwan, demanding that all contractors should be required to sign a "Contractor Statement" to be qualified to perform works for the Group. All contractors that perform works on plant premises will have to be informed of "Work Environment and Hazards"and "Important Notes for Contractors Working within Plant Premise,"and are instructed to comply with "Contractor Safety and Health Codeof Conduct" and sign the "Work Safety Commitment." Contractors are required to submit a "Construction Work Permit" and seek approval before commencing work; once construction has been completed, the supervising unit will issue a "Completion and Safety Confirmation Form."If the construction fails to meet safety rules, the responsible department will issue an improvement order and demand corrections to be made by the contractor within the given time. Any accident that arises inrelation to the works performed by contractors and their personnel at Primax's premise, such as occupational accidents, fire, explosion etc.,will be reported, investigated, analyzed, and recorded according to Primax's accident investigation and improvement procedures.
Work-Related Injury Statistics
In addition to addressing existing or potential workplace safety issues, Primax Group evaluates the effectiveness of its occupational health and safety measures by monitoring rates of work-related injuries, occupational diseases, lost workdays, and absenteeism. These metrics help determine whether incidents are being effectively reduced or prevented and whether any deficiencies remain unaddressed in specific areas of health and safety management. Identified gaps are resolved as quickly as possible, while potential safety concerns or risks of unfair treatment are proactively prevented.
In 2025, Primax Group recorded a total of 28 work-related injuries among employees. All cases were properly managed, with support provided to help injured employees file insurance claims and adjust their work duties as appropriate based on recovery status. To further prevent future occupational injuries, the Group conducted root cause analyses and formulated corresponding action plans. For the most frequent types of injury — pinching and entanglement incidents — protective guards and barriers were installed on relevant equipment to prevent fingers from accidentally entering mechanical gaps and causing injury. For incidents of hazardous substance contact, falls, and cuts, which occur with high frequency, we will strengthen the inspection of incoming raw materials and review and improve the spacing of production lines to avoid the risk of collision and cuts caused by insufficient working space. At the same time, we strengthen chemical management, implement equipment inspection and protective measures, distribute appropriate personal protective equipment and strengthen training in its proper use, and improve emergency response measures such as eye wash to reduce the risk of accidental contact with chemicals. Additional safety measures included enhancing education and training initiatives, and increasing the frequency of onsite inspections to strengthen personnel’s safety awareness and further reduce occupational injuries caused by negligence.
Employee health and comprehensive care
Primax Group has always placed great importance on employee health. In addition to regularly organizing health promotion activities and educational campaigns, each operational site has established medical facilities to provide health consultations and health management services, with the goal of continuously building a healthy workplace. The Group conducts employee health examinations in compliance with local regulations. In addition to general health checks, specific screening items are provided in three stages — pre-employment, during employment, and upon departure — for high-risk positions such as dispensing, printing, soldering, forklift operation, electrical work, noise exposure, dust exposure, laser operation, and X-ray operation. These targeted examinations include ultrasound scans, lung function tests, bilirubin analysis, hearing assessments, trace element testing, and ophthalmologic evaluations. For employees working with X-ray equipment, additional comprehensive health screenings are conducted, including examinations of the skin, liver, kidneys, lymph nodes, and thyroid gland. Common abnormal risk factors include noise exposure, dust inhalation, and chemical handling. If any such abnormalities are detected, the Group promptly conducts re-examinations. Once an abnormal result is confirmed and the employee is deemed unfit to continue their current duties due to health reasons, a job reassignment or reduction in exposure to relevant risk factors will be considered. The Group also continues to track the employee′ s health condition over time. Since the establishment of the Group's HSE Office, achieving zero occupational disease cases has been set as a priority objective. In 2025, all major sites have achieved the management objectives related to occupational diseases and work-related injuries.
Primax (Taipei) Headquarters and Tymphany (Taipei) are primarily office-based operations. Regular general health examinations are conducted, and employees identified as high-risk based on the results are closely monitored by nursing staff. A follow-up examination is provided free of charge six months later to enable early detection and early treatment of any health issues in a comprehensive manner. In 2025, a total of 998 employees at Primax (Taipei) Headquarters and Tymphany (Taipei) participated in health examinations.
Mitigate employee health risks through health promotion activities
In 2025, Primax Group organized a diverse array of health promotion activities at various locations, including Sports Month, campus sports meets, and sports competitions, along with multiple themed health seminars. Furthermore, exercise programs were integrated with an ecosystem rewards system to encourage employees to participate in activities such as spinning, yoga, and dance fitness. Employees can accumulate points to redeem ESG-themed merchandise, supporting the development of lasting exercise habits. At Primax (Taipei) Headquarters, the first quarter of each
year is designated as Health Season. In addition to regular employee health management through routine health examinations, a variety of exercise and weight loss programs are implemented to further reduce employee health risks based on job characteristics and individual needs. The number of participants in various health promotion activities of the group in 2025 is as follows:
Mental Health Promotion and Employee Care
Primax places great importance on supporting employees' mental health and recognizes that providing a friendly, balanced work environment is one of the Company's most fundamental responsibilities. At the Taipei Headquarters, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) hotline provides multi-dimensional professional consultation services in medical, legal, psychological, and other areas. According to statistics, the usage of EAP services has shown a significant growth trend in the past two years, indicating that employees have developed a high willingness and trust in using these services, and have become accustomed to seeking solutions through this professional channel to ensure that their personal issues receive substantial assistance.
