Occupational Safety and Health

Occupational Safety and Health

Management Approach:

Bora is committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment by implementing occupational safety and health policies integrated into business processes. The company conducts regular health check-ups and risk management activities. By establishing, maintaining, and improving its occupational safety management system, Bora reduces occupational hazards and consistently upholds standards that exceed regulatory requirements to protect employee health and safety.

Enhancing Employee Safety and Health Awareness and Establishing a Safety Culture

Bora has established environmental, health, and safety (EHS) policies for occupational safety and health management. These policies are implemented through training and awareness programs applicable to all employees, contractors, and participants in the company’s operational management and organizational activities. The scope includes key topics such as emergency response, night shift and commander handover training, high-potency drug risk control, workplace environment assessments, laboratory safety, noise management, radiation safety, mechanical and electrical safety, warehouse safety, fire prevention, and explosion-proof electrical management. These efforts provide guidance for occupational safety and health management at our facilities, enhance employee awareness, and foster a strong safety culture.

In addition, in 2024, our EHS team discussed and formulated internal group-wide environmental and occupational safety and health policies.

In 2023, Bora Pharmaceuticals (including its subsidiaries) did not experience any incidents or penalties related to violations of occupational health and safety laws or regulations.

Bora Pharmaceuticals complies with regulations to conduct occupational safety and health training and drills. Employees are also sent to participate in required certification training to obtain operational qualifications. These efforts aim to enhance workplace safety and health awareness, reducing the occurrence of occupational hazards.
