Occupational Safety and Health Administration Annual Report 2022

2022 marked an important turning point in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic. After three years of severe outbreaks, people’s daily lives gradually returned to normal and business saw signs of a renaissance. Facing the challenges of 2022, our Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) promptly enabled workers to revive the economy in a “safe, reassuring, and stable” working environment. As we at OSHA continued to strengthen safety protection, to respond to society’s attention to health promotion, and to implement the “Labor Occupational Accident Insurance and Protection Act,”.

Despite the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022, we worked together among the central and local governments as well as enterprises and workers, using mutual aid and cooperation to overcome the adverse impacts. We managed to improve the rate of occupational accidents per thousand workers in industry, which fell to 2.269 as a whole. This joint effort indicated that we steadily improved Taiwan’s OSH performance. Here I want to sincerely express my gratitude to all of our staff and partners for their hard work, because it would be impossible without everyone’s sweat and dedication to sustain a safe and healthy work environment for all. In the future, I look forward to everyone continuing to strive hard to collectively build a “safe, reassuring, and stable” work environment, so that every dedicated worker in Taiwan can be proud of this motherland.
