(CNA Reporter Wang Shu-fen, Taipei, 22nd) The Ministry of Labor announced today that registration for the 20th 'Promotion of Occupational Safety and Health Excellent Engineering Golden Safety Award' will be accepted from May 1st to 20th. The focus of this year's selection centers on aspects such as safety design at the source.
The Ministry of Labor issued a press release stating that this year's Golden Safety Award is driven by the core theme 'Building the Future with Safety, Creating Benchmarks in Engineering'.
The Ministry of Labor stated that in conjunction with the amendment of the 'Occupational Safety and Health Act' and the promotion of the 'Strengthening Workplace Disaster Reduction Action Plan', the evaluation focus for this year centers on 'safety design at the source', 'implementation of contractor management', and 'technology-assisted disaster prevention'. It will comprehensively review risk assessments and safety management practices across all phases of an engineering project, from planning and design to construction and maintenance.
The Ministry emphasized that this year's selection particularly highlights incorporating safety design concepts early in the design phase. By using engineering technical methods to eliminate or reduce risks in advance, and simultaneously conducting systematic risk assessments, necessary safety equipment, construction methods, design diagrams, and related budgets are integrated into the design content. This provides guidelines for the construction phase, reducing the risk of occupational hazards right from the source.
Additionally, given the complex nature of multi-layered contracting and division of labor in engineering practice, this year's selection also lists 'contractor management' as an important evaluation criterion. It focuses on the integrated management of the overall project and the transmission and control of risk information between all levels of contractors, ensuring the chain of safety responsibility is intact, thereby lowering the risk of occupational hazards.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Labor, since the inception of the 'Excellent Engineering Golden Safety Award', 263 excellent projects and 72 outstanding individuals have been recognized, making it a vital indicator of national construction safety and health management performance.
