Execution Status of Related MICB Programs for Occupational Safety and Health Act
  1. Human-Factor Hazards Prevention Plan

    MICB established human-factor hazards prevention plans and incorporated onsite visits to branches in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act. In 2019, it collected survey data from 18 branches to compile statistics and conduct analyses based on the pain levels experienced by each part of the body. It implemented tracking management for those with the highest ratings an identified a high-risk group of 36 people susceptible to work-related risks. The nurses and stationed physicians evaluated the work environment and provided related human-factor engineering improvement guidance and health education information. Improvement measures included using lumbar cushions on office chairs, recommendations for increasing the height of computer screens and placing phones on the side of the non-dominant hand. Nurses continue to follow up on high-risk employees and found that simple engineering improvements were indeed helpful in alleviating discomfort caused by ergonomic hazards. Certain employees actively sought medical attention based on suggestions and made improvements on damage caused by ergonomic hazards to their health.
  2. Abnormal Workload-triggered Diseases Prevention Plan

    MICB continues to implement the "disease prevention program caused by irregular work load" to prevent diseases caused by shift rotations, night shifts, and long work hours for high-risk employees. MICB organized a survey on abnormal workload-triggered diseases in the employee training in 2019. The survey recovery rate was 100%. After analyzing the 5,103 surveys, MICB made arrangements for high-risk employees to consult stationed physicians and nurses based on the hazard ratings and recommendations in interviews. The physician and nurse learned about whether the employees are assigned to suitable tasks and provided related health guidelines and work fitness arrangements. They also directed employees to related medical care resources at appropriate times to prevent overwork and stress management and reduce the risks of triggering diseases.
