ESG Report 2024

76 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2024 The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited To enhance OHS management, Inner Mongolia Company has established the OHS targets and metrics for the Year 2024. 9.5.1 Targets and Metrics of OHS OHS Targets The Group adheres to the objective of “Safety First, Prevention Upmost”, sees production safety as our operational focus, carefully enforces and implements occupational-health-and-safety-related regulations and systems, and strives to reduce the occurrence of safety accidents. The Group has formulated a comprehensive occupational health and safety management system and obtained the OHSAS18001:2007 certification. Inner Mongolia Company has also passed the level two production safety standardisation review and obtained the ISO45001:2018 certification on Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. Under the guidance of the management system, all departments must strictly comply with laws, regulations, and relevant internal policies. They are required to conduct regular safety risk assessments to identify potential safety risks in different work areas and job contents, and to develop corresponding risk control measures. Meanwhile, the heads of the production departments or the safety management committee are responsible for regularly organising occupational health and safety training. This training utilises various methods such as classroom lectures, case analyses, and on-site demonstrations to strengthen safety education and enhance employees' safety awareness. In regard to the management of hazardous chemicals, the Group strictly complies with laws and regulations of hazardous chemical management, and highlights the risks and damages brought by the maltreatment of hazardous chemicals. The Group has established strict regulations for warehouse management, inventory safety management, and material entry and export management, clearly defining the collection facilities and handling procedures for various types of chemical waste to ensure proper disposal of hazardous waste. Besides, the Group has developed procedures for handling safety and work-related accidents, ensuring that employees have adequate knowledge to respond effectively in the event of an incident and can quickly assist injured colleagues. Moreover, we strictly adhere to relevant regulations regarding wages, subsidies, and work injury costs to protect the basic rights and interests of employees. To ensure that safety comes first, the Group organised a series of training sessions as part of the Safety Production Month activities, ensuring that all employees in each workshop are familiar with safety regulations and proficient in the operational procedures for safe production. To achieve the goal of enhancing production efficiency and reducing burdens through technology, the safety department has actively explored and promoted the development of an online intelligent training system. This system integrates existing training standards and utilises technologies such as biometric identification and process tracing to meet national regulations and enforcement inspection requirements. In the future, training will no longer be restricted by time and location, allowing employees to complete training tasks even when off-site, thereby addressing issues related to personnel organisation, classroom reservations, and time management. In addition, the system's automatic evaluation and statistical functions, along with the promotion of electronic files, will help frontline managers alleviate the complexities of organisation and statistics. 9.5.2 Production Safety Management OHS Metrics of Factories and Departments: 100% completion rate for employee safety education and training plans and team activities plans; pass rate for safety education and training ≥ 96% 100% completion rate for emergency response plan drills; pass rate ≥ 93% Fire equipment and facilities compliance rate ≥ 98% Safety facility compliance rate ≥ 96% Hazardous chemical storage and usage compliance rate ≥ 93% 100% completion rate for safety risk and hazard identification and governance plans; hazard rectification rate ≥ 99%; file pass rate ≥ 94% 100% certification rate for special operations (hot work, confined space, blind flange, working at heights, lifting operations, circuit breaking, excavation, temporary electricity); pass rate ≥ 96% Occupational health examination implementation rate ≥ 100% Occupational disease protection facility and equipment integrity rate ≥ 93% disease protection facility and equipment integrity rate ≥ 93% Employee compliance rate for wearing labour protective equipment ≥ 96% Fatalities and serious accidents 0 Level 2 and above fire and explosion accidents 0 Acute poisoning and occupational disease accidents 0 Employee accident rate of minor injuries and below not exceeding 2 ‰
