Employee Safety Protection
The “occupational health and safety” management goal of Chunghwa Telecom is “ongoing improvement in health and safety facilities; establishment of a safe, healthy, comfortable, and friendly working environment; reduction of work-related accidents.”
To attain its targets in occupational health and safety, Chunghwa Telecom has allocated 112 OHS-certified professionals as the top telecom operator with the largest army of OHS professionals. Meanwhile, all the branch offices have been 100% introduced and verified against ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management system. Through an ongoing improvement of its OHS facilities, betterment of its OHS performance, and reduction of occupational accidents, CHT fosters a working environment that is safe, healthy, comfortable, and friendly.
Promotion of Employee Consultation and Participation
To protect the health and safety of our employees, we promote employee consultation and participation, offering consultation as well as mechanisms, time, trainings, and resources necessary to participants. In addition, the Labor Safety and Health Committee is set up across all the CHT branch offices nationwide with labor representatives accounting for 34% thereof in average. Also, “OHS managing units” are in place dedicated to the planning, supervision, and promotion of employee health and safety matters.

Occupational Health and Safety System (ISO 45001)
Chunghwa Telecom was the first domestic telecom service operator that introduced Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series 18000 (OHSAS 18000) , and the transfer to the ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety standard was made in 2018.
As of 2021, 27 branches/institutions of Chunghwa Telecom have been independently and externally verified against ISO 45001, carrying out management of employee health and safety through the “institutionalized” and “systematic” mechanism.
In addition, to elevate employees’ knowledge and skills in health and safety, we regularly organize education and trainings regarding “occupational health and safety” each year. There were 174 sessions accessed by 16,938 participants with expenses covered by the Company in full amount.
