Jobsite Safety and Health

Acer places utmost importance on health and safety in the work environment and has implemented measures, such as the Jobsite Environment Safety Management Plan and organizes fire safety drills, to ensure a healthy and safe work place.

Jobsite Environment Safety Management Plan
At the Acer headquarters in Taiwan , a security guard is stationed at the main entrance checking the credentials of all guests and authorizing permission of entry. During normal office hours employees and guests must provide identification card access for entry into the general office areas. Entrance into laboratories and information management system facilities requires an additional authorized jurisdiction access card. On official holidays and during the evenings of regular work days, entry into the office area requires an access card and also a PIN. In addition, to further heighten the safety of female employees, entry into women's restrooms requires card access to pass through the security system and inside these restrooms emergency alarms and telephones have been installed to provide a double measure of protection.

Fire Safety Drills
Acer has organized its own firefighting unit set up for the initial line of self-defense in the case of an emergency. The firefighting unit consists of an escape assistance squad, fire-extinguishing squad, reporting squad, first-aid squad, transport squad, and safety and prevention squad. Its primary mission is to conduct initial fire extinguishing efforts and evacuate employees in the case of a fire emergency, thus reducing the impact of disaster. Acer coordinates with the Building Management Committee to conduct biannual fire safety drills, and Acer headquarters also conducts random, unscheduled drills to ensure employees remain prepared. Acer also cooperates with the Fire Department to conduct updated training.

Others
In addition to the above jobsite safety and fire protection measures, each year Acer conducts two CO2 level inspections and one electromagnetic wave inspection of the office area to ensure a healthy and safe office environment so employees can feel comfortable and confident in their work environment.
