|
Control Mechanisms
|
Introduction
|
|
Chemical
Risk
Management
|
• Unimicron checks to identify all chemicals used, comparing the "Priority
Management Chemicals (Announcement 1,148 in 2021)" and "Regulated Chemicals
(Announcement 23 in 2021)" announced by the government according to the law. The
facilities report to the government annually.
- In 2021, no use any "regulated
chemicals".
- In 2021, there are 139 kinds of "priority
management chemicals" in the chemical composition, and the amount of operation
will be reported according to the law.
• All chemicals stored on-line are limited to one-day usage.
• All barrels/tank chemicals are stored in secondary containers (such as
breakwaters, liquid trays, etc.), and set at 110% of their capacity to prevent
chemical leakage or spillage.
• Set up emergency showers and related first aid and emergency decontamination
supplies (such as Diphoterine, etc.).
|
|
Tanker Filling
and
Unloading
|
• Set up the electric pump with independent power control. When encountering
abnormal conditions, the interlock device can be activated to cut off the power
supply.
• The inlet boxes are set up by zones according to the hazard characteristics of
chemicals, and each inlet is set up with an independent box.
• No use combination locks and universal locks/keys to open the inlet box. The
responsible unit shall control the unlocking/locking in person.
• Require suppliers to implement safety management such as wheel blocks and personal
protective equipment.
• Set up liquid level monitoring alarm and interlock mechanism.
• Set up sump to avoid chemical spillage.
• Install monitor connection monitoring to ensure the safety of chemical
loading/unloading operations.
|
|
Chemical
Distribution System in manufacture for new facility

chemicals are designed with sealed and full cover cabinets to avoid employee contact
and reduce accidents. Such as liquid dumping, musculoskeletal or splashing when
colleagues carry or add chemical.
• The cabinet is designed with independent air intake and exhaust devices to ensure
ambient air quality.
• The electric control switch is designed with a leakage trip to prevent the risk of
electric shock for employees.
• According to the acid/alkaline properties of chemicals, store them in partitions
or layers to reduce the risk of chemical reaction.
• The automatic supply chemical system uses passive reception. Supply chemicals when
the equipment side independently calls the medicine/stop signal, reducing the risk
of leakage. The supplied chemical pipeline material uses CPVC+PFA double-layer
casing throughout the process to reduce the risk of leakage. For the inner layer
pipe made of PFA material, the construction method adopts the seamless method.
• Other fool-proofing mechanisms: Barcode comparison before feeding, chemical feed
pressure detection, timeout alert, liquid level detection, weight detection, empty
barrel warning, secondary container (including leak detection), cabinet fixing to
prevent earthquakes and emergency stop button.

Emergency Response and Drill
Organization Chart
Emergency Response Flow
There are three stages in Fire, Explosion, Chemical Leakage Emergency Response Operations, please see
below for general introduction.
• The Zero Stage (Notification Response):Call, report
and respond through the accident notification process when people discover abnormal conditions or the
activation of fire detectors.
• The First Stage (Instant Search Response): When the
disaster occurs in one area, and the unit of abnormal area (including firefighting team) and the
competent authority are called and notified by the witness to conduct timely search and initial rescue.
• The Second Stage (Plant-Level Response): When the
disaster spreads from one area to other areas, the unit of abnormal area and the competent authority are
unable to control the condition. The plant commander conducts the initiation of emergency response team and
takes evacuation action. If the emergency response team cannot effectively control the disaster condition,
while the fire brigade is arriving at the scene, the plant commander directly transfers the authority to
external unit and assist in providing relevant information.
Training
Each plant has established an Emergency Response Team (ERT), to effectively improve the responders’
on-site search, emergency response, fire-fighting equipment suit and self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) wearing, the use of fire hose nozzles, and the response, decision-making and dispatching
capabilities. Both plant commander and ERT must finish the relevant professional training
courses.
• Standardization on emergency response equipment and fulfillment of regular inspection.
• Establish Emergency Response Team and take refresher training.
• Comprehensively enhance the disaster searching and rescue capabilities.
• Strengthen the emergency decision-making competency of commanders.
Emergency Drill

self-guard fire protection grouping in accordance with national regulations and the company's emergency
response operations, and conducts the emergency response evacuation and drills biannually, including
disaster scenario simulation, enhancement of logistics support capabilities, the wearing familiarity of
emergency response equipment.
• Emergency Evacuation:：To evacuate people who are not
the emergency response team to a safe place in the shortest time, this could avoid being affected in
case of disaster extension and even influence the rescue. When people move to the assembly point, the
number of personnel must be verified and ensure all internal/ external personnel must be at the safe
place.
