CPR and AED Emergency Training

Conducting CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) emergency training within the Company is crucial as it can save lives in emergency situations. The benefits include:

  1. Rapid response to emergency situations: Regardless of the situation, when a sudden loss of vital signs is detected in colleagues or family members, if employees can respond quickly and use appropriate first-aid skills, they may be able to save a life.
  2. Increase employee knowledge and con dence in performing  rst aid: By learning CPR and AED procedures, employees gain knowledge and skills on how to perform first aid. This knowledge and skill can make employees feel more confident, knowing they can assist others in need.
  3. Foster a safety culture: Through first aid training, the Company demonstrates its commitment to the safety of its employees and clients. This focus contributes to fostering a safety culture where employees are more conscious of their own and their colleagues’ safety and better prepared to handle emergencies.

Emergency Response Training and Drills

In 2024, we enhanced the disaster response resilience of the factory and maintained continuous operation. Accton started by identifying disaster risks, limiting the extent of losses before the arrival of the fire brigade, and improving personnel’s independent disaster reduction capabilities. The main steps were as follows.

  1. Strengthening Awareness of Resilience
  2. Identify Adverse Fire Scenarios, Conduct Monthly Response Team Drills, and Learn From Mistakes

Evacuation Drill and E-Emergency Evacuation System Project Results

Whether encountering a fire or an earthquake, when the company needs to evacuate personnel, there are three key points:

1. Ensure employees are familiar with the escape routes.

2. Safely arrive at the assembly point.

3. Accurately keep track of the evacuated personnel list.

To quickly and accurately track the whereabouts of employees, Accton’s IT department has developed an e-attendance system, integrating instant messaging software, mobile card readers, and QR codes.
