Occupational Safety
In order to reduce the work risk of employees and contractors, we are committed to promoting workplace safety.
Health Care and Workplace Safety

CDF actively establishes a high-quality working environment and a workplace taking into account physical and mental health. The Company started introducing ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Safety and Health Management System in 2020 to improve workplace health and safety. In 2021, KGIS passed the certification, covering all employees in the scope. CDF also issued the “CDF Occupational Safety and Healthy Policy” in 2022, which was approved by CEO and applicable to the whole Company. We are committed to continuous improvement of our occupational safety and health management system, and will develop action plans for high-risk issues based on the results of risk assessments and establish quantitative targets for improvement. The Company solicits internal opinions in a wide range, and strengthens the relevant management mechanisms.

 

In addition, CL has completed the establishment of an “Occupational Safety and Health Committee”, consisting of 1 chairman and 7 members, including 4 labor representatives, accounting for 50% of the total number of members. The committee meets regularly every quarter to discuss issues related to occupational safety and health risks.
