Abstract
Recently, with both local and international emphasis on environment and occupational safety and hygiene conditions, there have been numerous relevant issues proposed for compliance conducted by nations and business organizations. Among them, the proposals also include environmental management systems (ISO 14001) and occupational health and safety management systems (OHSAS 18001). ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 were separately generated in 1996 and 2001. They were further revised separately in 2004 and 2007. Due to the same operation mode (PDCA –the dynamic operation mode), most business organizations spend the same effort for system promotion to reduce the waste caused by labor and money. Although there have been numerous experts and scholars proposing the efficiency after promoting environmental amd occupational health and safety management systems, there is still no effectiveness examined actually. This research spends focusing effort on a LED factory with environmental and occupational health and safety management systems promoted. Thereafter, the risk assessment results and system changes after improvement effort made for this factory are used to examine effectiveness. In the research process, the results of risk assessment can represent current conditions of internal environment and occupational safety and hygiene. They can be held as targets for improvement projects, also. Additionally, from the results of risk assessment, the changes to employees’ emphasis on safety and hygiene can be found. It also shows the direction urgently required for immediate improvement effort made by this factory to reduce internal risks and damages. Furthermore, after this factory has spent effort for improvement projects at various departments for past few years, not only the risk for internal activities and operation are reduced, but also the internal environment and occupational safety and hygiene are well improved. The results of this research cannot only verify the promoted efficiency of environmental and occupational health and safety management systems proposed by experts and scholars, but also bring with other tangible and intangible effectiveness (such as the emphasis on environment and occupational safety and hygiene conditions placed by the factory personnel from general employees to high rankers.). Finally, in this research, by focusing on the process with the effort to promote environmental and occupational health and safety management systems internally, the defects can be proposed. It is expected that the internal environmental and occupational health and safety management systems can be promoted continuously. Aside from more insightful understanding of internal status, the aggressive involvement effort is also spent on international issues to improve environment and occupational safety and hygiene. It aims to reach the spirits of continuous improvement and eternal development.
