Occupational Safety
GOAL: No pollution to the environment and zero hazards at work
TECO has established an occupational safety team under the CEO office, which is responsible for policy formulation, plan management and supervision of environmental safety and health, and has set up dedicated units in each factory.

In order to strengthen the statistics of occupational injuries in each factory, we independently calculate the frequency of incapacitating injuries FR and the severity rate of incapacitating injuries SR for all regular employees of TECO Electric Group. We also calculate the incapacitation frequency FR and the severity rate SR of other workers, engineering contractors and outsourcing contractors in Taiwan factories. Injury frequency FR and incapacitating injury severity rate SR.
