Safety, Occupational Health, and Good Working Environment
Importance and Mission
The production of renewable energy, whether through solar, wind, or biomass power generation, involves the use of various machinery, equipment, and technologies. Therefore, effective inspection and management of occupational safety risks are of the utmost priority. The Group recognizes that risk governance is not only a fundamental responsibility, but also a continuous opportunity to enhance health and safety practices. These improvements support greater operational efficiency and effectiveness, while also demonstrating a strong respect for human rights, particularly in relation to employees who are key stakeholders.
Moreover, safety and health are also critical concerns for all stakeholders across the Group’s value chain, including customers, business partners, and local communities. Accordingly, the Group is committed to building a strong safety culture and managing risks proactively, as a foundation for long-term performance improvements. This commitment contributes to better health, quality of life, and overall well-being for both within the workplace and in society at large. It also reinforces the Group’s journey toward safety excellence, highlighting the integral connection between a strong safety culture and sustainable business success.

Management Approach
The Group operates in strict compliance with legal requirements related to safety, occupational health, and the working environment through a systematic approach, including the implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (ISO 45001). This covers the safety of personnel, nearby communities, and all stakeholders, as it pertains to the fundamental human right to safety and health. In addition, the Group places strong emphasis on safety management throughout all phases of each project—from the pre-construction stage, through the construction and operational stages, and all the way to the project decommissioning stage—to ensure that the Group delivers occupational health and safety performance at the highest level of effectiveness.
Occupational Health and Safety Training for Employees
Training in occupational health and safety for employees and workers is a crucial part of creating a safe and efficient work environment. It helps reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries in the workplace, and ensures that employees and workers understand work processes correctly, thereby minimizing the risk of errors. The Group organizes health and safety training tailored to the nature of the work, as follows:
- Solar rooftop design and installation
- Electrical Installation Standard for Thailand
- Safety training for working at heights
- Basic first aid training, including handling venomous snake bites
**Emergency response team training
- Emergency evacuation procedures
- Firefighting training and fire evacuation drills
Job Safety Risk Assessment
The Group has established a controlled system of documentation and inspection to ensure workplace safety at every stage of operations. All activities within the power plant undergo job safety analysis (JSA), with corresponding risk prevention measures in place. Prior to commencing any task, all workers—including employees, contractors, and partners—are required to obtain a work permit, which includes verification of individual readiness and personal protective equipment (PPE). This protocol is intended to reduce workplace accidents and minimize operational risk. The Group also maintains a register of activities with potential occupational health risks, along with associated preventive and corrective measures, as summarized in the table below.

In addition to accident prevention, the health and well-being of employees remain a key focus for the Group. The Group is committed to maintaining high standards of workplace health and wellness, not only to meet occupational safety requirements, but also to promote hygiene and well-being across office environments and project sites. A range of employee welfare and recreational programs are in place, including annual health check-ups, vaccination campaigns, fitness promotion, and health education through various internal communication channels. The Group also implements proactive measures to prevent seasonal and emergency disease outbreaks. Other initiatives include leisure and company outings, as well as participation in sports and wellness activities with customers, partners, and stakeholders.
