Treating Employees according to Sound Labor Practices and Promoting Human Capital Development
Osotspa has developed a holistic human resource management strategy that aligns with the core value statement of the Company: “the power to enhance life for consumers and community through a culture of high performance, innovation and sustainability”. This strategy achieves the Company's goal of increasing employee motivation, fostering engagement, retaining talented individuals prepared to enrich and advance the organization, supporting employee development, promoting a safe workplace environment, and cultivating mutual respect among all individuals. All of Osotspa’s employees play an important role in promoting and driving the organization's sustainability.
Fostering a Healthy and Safe Work Environment
Our top priority is to provide a safe and healthy work environment for our employees. To help prevent workplace accidents and illnesses, promote employee welfare, and ensure that the work environment stays in line with local laws and safety standards as well as international regulations, the Company has employed the "SHE Vision Zero" campaign. We are committed to being a sustainably safe organization, free of workplace accidents and occupational illness, where employees are healthy and environmentally conscious.
Occupational Health & Safety
Osotspa is committed to establishing a culture of safety while enhancing its safety management system to meet high standards.
The Company regularly monitors its occupational health and safety operations to ensure efficiency and measurable results. International safety indicators such as Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) and Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) are currently being utilized to track occupational health and safety operations. These are also used in the determination of workplace safety goals.
Total Recordable Injuries - TRIR (No./Million Man Hours)
| Employee | Contractor | |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 1.98 | 0.67 |
| 2021 | 3.61 | 2.20 |
| 2022 | 2.48 | 1.39 |
| 2023 | 2.08 | 0.59 |
Lost Time Injury Frequency - LTIFR (No./Million Man Hours)
| Employee | Contractor | |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 0.54 | 0.67 |
| 2021 | 0.45 | 0.79 |
| 2022 | 0.35 | 0.62 |
| 2023 | 0.49 | 0.00 |
Reflecting our commitment to occupational health and safety management, the Company added various safety projects in 2023. These projects, alongside effective occupational health and safety management, resulted in the Company successfully reducing the Total Recordable Injury Rate and the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate of both employees and contractors.

Performance Highlights
Osotspa controls occupational health and safety risks in the workplace by implementing effective safety tools, including the “Near Miss Reporting, Safety Suggestions, and Safety Patrol” scheme. We follow a set of procedures that help track potential incidents in order to improve operations and enhance safety. Reported close-calls or near accidents are investigated to determine the causes and the appropriate actions needed to prevent recurrence or other future accidents.
In the event of an accident
The company immediately implements proper corrective actions and launches an investigation to determine the cause. Such information must be recognized by the manager of the site where the accident occurs. Every accident must be reported to senior management as soon as possible
Lesson Learned Card (LLC): The tool allows companies in Osotspa group to share information about accidents and safety improvements. It equips operators with the knowledge they need to avoid future incidents.
Safety System Software: To improve operational efficiency and reduce accidents, the company encourages employees report unsafe incidents through online systems such as the Safety Patrol for reporting unsafe accidents, the Near Miss Reporting, the Safety Suggestions for receiving suggestions, and the Kaizen system.
These online systems allow operators and relevant persons to track progress in resolving issues and increases monitoring and improvement efficiency
Emergency Response Readiness
Every function in the Company must regularly review and improve its emergency plans, which include their response to fire incidents, chemical spills, floods, critical contagious disease outbreaks, etc. In addition, in each organization, the responsible persons and their roles in the event of an emergency must be defined and updated. Incident response drills must be conducted as planned in order to effectively prepare for and reduce the risks that may arise in the event of an emergency.
Emergency equipment, including fire extinguishers, chemical recovery equipment, flood protection equipment, etc., must be checked and maintained to ensure availability.

Behavior-Based Safety (BBS)
We believe that a positive safety culture 1) encourages individuals within a workplace to take responsibility for their own safety and the safety of those around them, 2) enhances the Company’s overall safety culture, and 3) expands activities associated with workplace safety.
The company has thus implemented the principles of Behavior Based Safety (BBS) with the goal of reducing the number of workplace accidents by changing employee and contractor safety behavior.
In 2022, BBS programs were implemented at seven of Osotspa's operational sites. The company plans to institute BBS in all departments to instill a safety culture throughout the entire Group.
Safety Training
Adjusting to the post-pandemic new normal, the Company continues to provide both online and in-person safety training for employees in order to strengthen awareness & foster a culture of safety in the workplace.
The new modes of instruction, namely the “SHE e-Learning” & “SHE Software”
enable employees to work through the material at their own pace, ensuring that they are fully comprehending occupational health and safety information that is integral to daily work activities.

Safety Software
SHE-specialized management software was adopted for data connections across operations. The software facilitates synergies between the SHE function and other supportive operational units.
In addition, SHE software helps the company ensure company-wide compliance with applicable regulations and requirements while saving time and effort in the process.
The company improved the statistical data of the software system for easy inspection and efficient data usage through the Incident Management system and expanded the scope of use to our overseas operations. We prioritize auditing of legal compliance, revisions, and monitoring using the SHE software system, which covers all laws applicable to the Company. We also encourage operators to keep a record of safety inspections and improvements in the Safety Patrol system.
