HSE & Sustainability

Every year, TINTOLL will formulate annual goals, annual policies and key measures, and use the plan to carry out process safety disaster prevention and occupational safety and health activities. We have been carrying out activities in accordance with the annual goals of "zero major process safety accidents" and "zero major occupational accidents" and the annual policy of accurately identifying weak links in the workplace and making steady improvements. The factory's target performance is regularly reviewed and new targets are set each year to continuously improve our operations.

We inspect every critical step in the manufacturing process and every vital piece of equipment in our factories, and work hard to protect everyone who comes into contact with our products every day, including those who make, ship, buy, use and dispose of our materials. We steadily implement change management and risk assessment, thoroughly respond to accidents and occupational accidents, and effectively use information to prevent the recurrence of accidents and occupational accidents and the occurrence of similar accidents and accidents.

In order to minimize and control injuries in the event of accidents or natural disasters such as earthquakes, we have established an emergency management system inside the factory to prevent negative impacts on the surrounding areas of the factory and conduct drills accordingly.

In order to prevent accidents and occupational accidents, facilities are regularly inspected, repaired, and replaced as necessary, and are regularly monitored to ensure that signs of abnormalities in facilities are quickly detected and appropriately dealt with.

We strive to develop individuals who always put safety first, who can think for themselves, use good judgment and take action. In addition, in order to strengthen risk assessment, we actively cultivate human resources with professional risk assessment knowledge and skills, and all employees remind each other to practice safe behavior.

In addition, we use the simulation experience facilities of process safety incidents and occupational accidents to carry out experiential education to improve employees' sensitivity to hazards.

For technicians, we also provide chemical engineering education and conduct initiatives such as mandatory participation in process safety assessments at their respective workplaces. Through these efforts, we are producing chemical process safety engineers with expertise in chemical substances and reactions and risk assessment methods.

We conduct our business in accordance with the Responsible Care guiding principles and strive to comply with all applicable legal and internal environmental, health, safety and security (EHSS) requirements. The safety of the environment, people and communities is important to us. We take proactive precautions to protect our employees, the communities in which we live and work, and the environment.

Our continuous improvement of EHSS systems, products and activities enables us to better conserve energy and natural resources, prevent pollution and protect the health, safety and security of our employees and the public.

TINTOLL aims to contribute to the global environment, actively working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save resources and energy, prevent air, water and soil pollution, limit waste generation, encourage reuse and recycling, participate in activities and develop technologies that help protect the natural environment, and develop and produce environmentally friendly products.
