TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Labor Minister Hung Sun-han (洪申翰) announced on Friday (Jan. 17) that Taiwan will ramp up inspections in the construction and manufacturing sectors this year amid reports of workplace bullying. Authorities also plan to draft specific regulations for short-term and comprehensive laws for long-term solutions, with the Legislative Yuan (立法院) scheduled to review a draft legislation in its next session.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, 職業安全衛生署) released a statement highlighting Hung's remarks during a recent meeting, during which he addressed several major occupational accidents. Critics have pointed out issues such as insufficient risk assessment and prevention and inadequate deterrence of violations. Hung emphasized that this year's focus will be strengthening inspections in high-risk industries, enhancing inspection efficiency, and building a foundation in disaster prevention knowledge.

 

Hung plans to quickly implement intelligent real-time monitoring and analysis systems while deepening cross-departmental collaboration with fire and environmental agencies. During the meeting, officials also discussed workplace bullying. Hung noted that the Ministry of Labor (MOL, 勞動部) has convened expert meetings to develop responses and plans to submit legislation for review in the Legislative Yuan's upcoming session.

Hung stressed that workplace safety must not be neglected, and pledged that the MOL will continue to support frontline inspection agencies to create a safer and healthier work environment for workers.
