Occupational Safety and Health Management
Shih Wei Navigation adheres to four core safety policies “safety of lives, ships, cargo and the environment”, and is committed to safeguarding the work safety of both HQ employees and seafarers. The Administration Department, Crew Management Department, and Risk Management Department jointly maintain a safe and hygienic workplace. Through regular training and communication, the Company raises employees’ safety awareness and skills to reduce occupational incidents. Personnel safety comes first. If an employee identifies an imminent danger in the workplace, they may stop work and evacuate to a safe area to protect life and will not be subject to disciplinary action.
