Health
and Safety

Vendors/service providers shall recognize that a safe and healthy work environment enhances the quality of products and services, consistency of production, and the employees’ morale. Vendors/service providers shall also recognize that ongoing employee input and education is a key to identifying and solving health and safety issues in the workplace. TALIC encourages its vendors/service providers to join in similar sustainability efforts.

Occupational safety

Employees exposure to potential safety hazards should be controlled through proper design, engineering and administrative controls, preventive, and where possible, pre-emptive maintenance and safe work procedures. Where hazards cannot be adequately controlled by these means, employees should be provided with appropriate PPEs (personal protective equipment).

Emergency preparedness

Emergency situations and events should be identified and assessed, and their impact minimized, by implementing emergency plans and any applicable/available response procedures including: emergency reporting, employee motivation and evacuation procedures, employees training and drills, appropriate fire detection and suppression equipment, emergency exit facilities and recovery plans.
