Occupational Health and Safety
PEA has developed management of occupational health and safety and hazard prevention in the course of work for comprehensiveness and safety, consistent with laws, regulations, strategies of Thailand’s safety supporting agencies, and international work safety standards. Also in place is a master plan on safety and occupational health, designed to track and evaluate performance against goals. We also have arranged appropriately our work environments and foster a safety culture together with a work environment favoring a decent quality of life and work safety for our personnel and contractor employees that work in our areas. The aim is to minimize or eliminate accidents and incidents by focusing on minimizing the causes of accidents (health and environmental context) that impact personnel’s live and property. Finally, we value safety, occupational health, and the work environment of those on the job—a critical factor for our personnel and our own operating efficiency.
Remarks:
- High-impact work injuries (excluding fatalities) mean level-3 to level-4 injuries under PEA’s criteria that call for 180 days or more of lost workdays, excluding deaths
- Recordable work injuries include all work injuries along with deaths, high-impact injuries, lost and no-lost workdays
- Fatality/work injury rates are based on 200,000 man-hours
- To arrive at employees’ and contractors’ work hours, use “number of employees x number of workhours per day x number of workdays per week x number of weeks per year” and include the outcome with the hours worked by employees and contractors on duty as of 31 December 2022
- To arrive at contractors’ work hours, use “number of contractors x number of workhours per day x number of workdays per week x number of weeks per year” as of 31 December 2022
- Computation of √ DI represents PEA’s reporting. Disabling Injury Index (D.I.I) = IFR x ISR /1000 under ANSI (the US national standard), representing the relationship between the number of accidents in PEA’s operation and the severity of PEA’s work accidents, compared with the workhours of those who work for PEA. In other words, √ DI measures the quality of safety among state enterprises engaging in the same business (PEA, MEA and EGAT). It originated with a value designated by the State-Owned Enterprise Policy Office.
