Occupational Health and Safety
Importance and Mission
The Company is committed to managing the Saha Group Industrial Parks as a safe urban community, to build confidence in safety management among customers, communities, society, and all stakeholder groups. As the Saha Group Industrial Parks are home to a diverse range of industrial factories, the Company recognizes the risks of various accidents or emergencies that may arise, such as traffic accidents, fires, or chemical spills within factories located in the industrial park areas. The Company therefore places strong emphasis on establishing systematic occupational health and safety measures and management processes.
The Company has applied the guidelines of the Quality Management System (ISO 9001:2015), the Environmental Management System (ISO 14001:2015), and the Thai Labour Standard TLS 8001-2020 to appropriately and continuously define safety, occupational health, and work environment management measures.
The Company has also adopted an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Policy (to communicate and raise awareness among employees and all relevant parties regarding the importance of workplace safety, with the objective of ensuring all employees enjoy a good quality of life, work in a safe environment, and sustainably reduce risks that may impact lives, property, and surrounding communities.

Occupational Health and Safety Governance Structure
The Company has established a clear occupational health and safety governance structure spanning from the Board of Directors and executives through operational departments to employees and contractors, to ensure safety operations are effective, compliant with relevant laws and standards, and directed toward the Zero Accident goal.
Promoting Occupational Health and Safety Culture
In addition to systematic safety management, the Company places strong emphasis on strict compliance with relevant occupational health and safety laws and requirements, alongside instilling a safety culture among all parties operating within the industrial park areas — from executives and employees through customers to contractors and business partners. The Company sets a workplace safety target of Zero Accident / Zero Lost Time Injury and continuously conducts safety and health promotion activities to prevent accidents, reduce occupational risks, and create a safe working environment conducive to the quality of life of all workers.
Occupational Health and Safety Risk Assessment
The Company places strong emphasis on accident prevention and the health of employees, contractors, and all relevant parties, conducting systematic occupational health and safety risk assessments covering all work activities within the Company's operating areas — through hazard identification, risk level assessment, and the establishment of appropriate control and preventive measures — to effectively prevent injuries, occupational illnesses, and safety risks. These operations are conducted in accordance with the Ministry of Labour Notification on Hazard Assessment, Work Environment Impact Studies, and the Preparation of Employee and Establishment Control Plans, published in the Royal Gazette on November 22, 2024. The Company has submitted hazard assessment reports, work environment impact studies, annual safety operational plans, and employee and establishment control plans to the Provincial Labour Protection and Welfare Office in full and in accordance with requirements.
Occupational Health and Safety for Contractor
The Company places strong emphasis on the workplace safety of business partners and contractors operating within the Saha Group Industrial Parks, establishing clear occupational health and safety measures and work procedures, and communicating safety policies and requirements to contractors prior to commencement of work. The Company has developed a Work Instruction for High-Risk Work Permit Procedures (WI–CO–018) to serve as a guideline for controlling, inspecting, and approving high-risk work, covering appropriate work types and procedures.
Emergency Management and Emergency Preparedness
The Company systematically manages emergency risks in alignment with the Eco Industrial Town requirements under the Safe & Eco-friendly Industry dimension, placing strong emphasis on prevention and preparedness for potential emergencies within the Saha Group Industrial Parks — such as fires, chemical spills, and oil spills — that may impact employees, operators within the area, surrounding communities, and the environment.
The Company has established a Security Manual and Emergency Response Plan, developed by the industrial park management service provider, covering the operations of security personnel, radio communication center officers, patrol officers, ambulance officers, fire officers, and traffic officers, with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and procedures — such as initial firefighting, first aid, and emergency communication systems — to ensure rapid, effective incident response in accordance with quality management system requirements. The Company targets emergency site response within 5 minutes to limit incident severity and reduce potential impacts.
Traffic and Road Safety Management
Through the stakeholder engagement process, the Company identified traffic and road safety as one of the key issues of concern to employees, operators within the Saha Group Industrial Parks, and surrounding communities. Given the high volume of vehicles entering and exiting the industrial park areas, traffic density increases the risk of road accidents. Historical data indicates that the majority of accidents have been caused by negligent driving. The Company therefore places strong emphasis on building a traffic safety community both within the Saha Group Industrial Parks and in surrounding areas, by establishing systematic traffic management and road safety measures and procedures under the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System, covering the control, monitoring, and tracking of vehicle access to and from the Saha Group Industrial Parks.
