and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices. With integrated solutions across
four key domains – telecom networks, IT, smart devices, and cloud services – they are committed to
bringing digital to every person, home and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world.

Huawei's end-to-end portfolio of products, solutions and services are both competitive and
secure. Through open collaboration with ecosystem partners, we create lasting value for our customers,
working to empower people, enrich home life, and inspire innovation in organizations of all shapes and
sizes.

➢ HEALTH AND SAFETY FIRST

In all countries and regions, they operate and implement an EHS (Environment, health and
Safety) management system and also a corporate-level global accountability mechanism for safety
incidents. They enforce their own EHS Absolute Rules, and have moved the center of gravity of EHS
management down in the organization. They also cultivate a robust safety-first culture. These actions
enable them to minimize safety risks and protect the health and safety of our employees, contractors,
and other stakeholders. They take EHS incidents very seriously. Also have an IT platform for EHS incident
management that enables incident reporting, investigation, and improvement. If an incident occurs,
they follow it through until it is resolved and closed. They discipline managers who are involved in EHS
incidents with significant implications, and they also reward best practices in safety management.

In 2017, they continued to deploy and optimize their own EHS management system, with 74% of
representative offices now certified for their occupational safety management. In line with EHS-related
laws and regulations, they further improved their own EHS management system to mitigate EHS risks
and meet customer requirements. They also enhanced cooperation with professional EHS management
enterprises and consultants to provide EHS training and conduct onsite assessment worldwide. This
helped us identify EHS risks in advance and take preventive measures. In 2017, their regional offices
from Latin America and the Middle East to Southeast Asia improved their EHS systems by enhancing
their EHS leadership and better managing subcontractors' EHS activities. These actions led to reduced
EHS incidents.

➢ MANUFACTURING SAFETY
Huawei puts safety first and takes preventive measures. Their goal is to optimize the processes
and technologies relating to safety and better manage manufacturing safety. Here are some of their
new implemented multiple initiatives in 2017:

• Upgraded the standards for design by safety to Version 3.0

• Digitally managed sources of risks, and produced a digital map for the Manufacturing Department
• Implemented safety improvement plans with coaching from DuPont consultants

• Continued to build a culture of safety, such as organizing Safe Manufacturing Month and Electrical
Safety Week

• Built safety training centers and provided training to increase expertise in safety assurance work

➢ DIGITALLY MANAGING MANUFACTURING SAFETY

In 2017, Huawei continued to manage sources of risks in manufacturing with digital technologies
and built an IT platform that monitors safety and gives alerts when identifying any sources of danger.
Specifically, it provides the following functions:

1. Real-time monitoring of toxic, hazardous, flammable, and explosive gases, as well as test systems with
high voltage and high current

2. Online monitoring of dynamic sources of danger, such as hot work operations and working at heights

3. Sending reminders to address significant hazards in everyday work, including maintenance,

calibration, and replacement

4. Identification and closed-loop management of safety risks

➢ OFFICE SAFETY
A safe, pleasant workplace can contribute to higher work efficiency. It is appealing to potential
hires, and supports their brand as well as overall employee health and safety.

Working with a world-leading safety services provider, Huawei has established safety management
baselines and standards for different country offices based on their specific business activities and risks.
They have evaluated safety risks in 25 high-risk countries, and developed a safety management plan for
each of them. Safety assurance services are now available in our overseas offices and staff dormitories.
They have upgraded the safety protection systems for their facilities, and provided safety training and
drills for their staff and their families. In addition, they run multiple social contribution programs in
countries and regions where they operate, offering help to the needy and contributing to a safer society.
 18 aspects of their safety management baselines: building safety via software, hardware, training,
and social contribution programs

➢ IMPROVING WORKPLACE AND LIVING FACILITIES

In 2016, they pressed ahead with efforts to upgrade offices and living facilities in their subsidiaries
outside China. Their goal is to create a safer, more convenient environment for their employees,
especially those in hardship regions.

Backed by their corporate policies for hardship regions, they invested over CNY700 million in the phase-I
project and over CNY500 million in the phase-II project. By the end of 2016, their phase-I project team
upgraded offices, dormitories, cafeterias, vehicles, and safety and fire systems in 72 countries across
more than 10 hardship regions, providing tangible benefits to our employees, both at work and in life.

 ➢ LOGISTICS SAFETY SUPPORT
EHS is part of their property service contracts, and they collaborate with suppliers so that their
subsidiaries can be served by EHS experts and capability. Their administrative service teams outside
China are able to deliver 24/7 logistics support and safety assurance by adopting advanced approaches
to manage facilities and safety, and respond to requests for logistics services. They have carried out
safety checks in our cafeterias around the world, and took concrete actions to address the identified
problems. In 2016, they installed the on-board diagnostics (OBD) and GPS systems in company-used
vehicles at more than 80% of our subsidiaries. These tools effectively identify speeding and driver
fatigue, making their vehicles safer and ensuring compliance with EHS standards. These tools also track
the movements of vehicles and provide data for evaluation to ensure their effective utilization.

➢ MANAGING PROJECT DELIVERY SAFETY

In 2017, Huawei further integrated EHS requirements into business processes, and fostered EHS
capabilities during project delivery. To prevent workplace accidents, they created scenario-specific EHS
standards for business activities that involve high risk, and produced and implemented detailed rules.
They also incorporated delivery EHS into their compliance management system, and developed tailored
criteria for different countries. In addition, they stepped up efforts to manage delivery EHS from end to
end, and reinforced compliance checks. An interactive IT platform was developed and launched to
manage their delivery EHS. They used the ISDP-Smart QC mobile application to record and monitor
worker violations. When they appraised contractor performance, we took the number of violations into
account. They worked with third-party EHS audit agencies to conduct EHS audits on 4,144 sites in 130
countries and representative offices and pushed representative offices to make EHS improvement on
their own.

Strong EHS expertise is the key to improving delivery EHS management. Huawei has taken the following
measures to develop its expertise in this regard:

• Released an EHS training video in multiple languages. The video covers driver safety, EHS risk
assessment in field environment, working at heights, hoist safety, and electrical safety

• Managed EHS separately for tower workers and electricians using an IT platform. The number of
certified personnel available on the platform has reached 34,000. More than 100,000 subcontractors
have received Huawei's training certificate.

• Completed a pilot project for subcontractors managing EHS on their own in five representative offices
in the Philippines, Thailand, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Seven subcontractors received Huawei's
EHS self-management certification.

• Regularly communicated with customers about EHS issues, learned about customer requirements and
expectations for EHS, applied them to Huawei's EHS management practices, and continuously improved
our overall delivery EHS capabilities.
 ➢ SAFE PRODUCTS
Huawei has developed strict systems for product safety control, and enforced strict product
safety standards. Their areas of focus continue to be reducing electromagnetic and laser radiation and
improving electrical safety. Their goal is to deliver safe, reliable products and services to customers and
consumers.

➢ ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
Huawei has developed strict standards for controlling electromagnetic radiation. Their ongoing research
and innovation help to ensure that their products conform to all legal and technical standards. Base
stations are becoming smaller and lighter, and are being installed closer to ground level. In response,
they are building additional electromagnetic radiation protection into their design, and carrying out
more research and testing. This allows them to deliver both excellent communications services and
product safety.

In 2016, they hired world-leading scientists in electromagnetic field exposure and product conformity
testing. By coordinating electromagnetic safety compliance, standardization, and supervision issues,
they help them to resolve product radiation problems at the R&D and market stages.

The increasing penetration of smartphones and new form factors of device products pose a big
challenge to the industry. There is a trade-off between the control of a device's electromagnetic
radiation level and the improvement of its signal strength. Stricter regulations on electromagnetic
radiation of consumer products are being released in many countries. To conform to relevant standards,
manufacturers have to invest a lot more in product R&D, manufacturing, and cost control. Huawei
attaches great importance to consumer safety. They invest in product R&D and manufacturing to ensure
their products are safe in terms of electromagnetic radiation. They have a dedicated lab that tests the
radiation levels of their products, including mobile phones, tablets, and wireless routers. In addition,
they collaborate with third-party verification organizations in major countries and regions to ensure that
their products comply with security laws and regulations of different countries.

➢ ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Huawei has established a systematic electrical safety assurance system, and they implement safety
baselines, standards, and requirements at different stages throughout the lifecycle. To deliver safe and
reliable products, they continue to invest in the research and application of key technologies relating to
electrical safety protection and risk mitigation and detection, and they are actively involved in standards
initiatives led by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Huawei has a dedicated electrical safety lab that is certified by both the American Association for
Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) and the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity
Assessment (CNAS), and is a long-term strategic partner of major testing and certification organizations
such as UL, TÜV, and ITS. They perform product design and testing in strict compliance with
international safety standards and differentiated national standards to ensure the electrical safety of
their products.
 ➢ LASER SAFETY
They strictly conform to the IEC 60825 security standards when designing, testing, and verifying all laser
products. Huawei has a dedicated laser safety lab to strictly test the safety of all laser products, from
optical modules to laser transmission systems. This enables them to ensure that users can use their
products without concern for laser radiation.

All of their laser products are certified by major international certification organizations such as UL and
TÜV, which means the radiation levels of their laser products pose no harm to users.
 ➢ ERGONOMICS
Huawei has a specialist ergonomic design team, which promotes safe product design based on real user
scenarios. Ergonomic design is built into every phase of product planning, design, development, and
testing, so that their products are adapted to users' engineering habits and technical needs –while
reducing health and safety risks at the installation and usage stages.

As of the end of 2016, they had collected 115 user scenarios in 26 countries and regions, involving major
telecom carriers across Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

➢ APPLYING ERGONOMICS IN PRODUCT DESIGN

Huawei FusionModule2000 is a next-generation modular data center solution. Its ergonomic design
enables fast, on-demand deployment and easy O&M. Installation takes only one week, which is 50%
faster than competitor products.

➢ NOISE REDUCTION
They have adopted multiple methodologies to greatly reduce the noise of multiple products. For
example, they introduced industry-leading noise simulation technology into their company. A
"whitebox" approach was used to study the factors that determine product noise. They also redesigned
product shapes and sizes to minimize noise.

One example is their core router, which cancels noise by 10 dB (compared with 6.5 dB of the previous
model) and reduces noise energy by 90%. In order to make this happen, we used noise simulation
technology to redesign the router's ventilation pipes and noise cancelling module, without having a
significant impact on the product's cost or size. The next generation of the core router is expected to
achieve 12 dB noise reduction, thus reducing noise energy by over 93%.

❖ SUGGESTIONS

They should have implemented a;

1. The safety shutdown system that shall shutdown the facilities to a safe state in case of an
emergency situation, thus protecting personnel, the environment and the asset. Safety
Shutdown System shall manage all inputs and outputs relative to Emergency Shut Down (ESD)
functions (environment & personnel protection). This system might also be fed by signals from
the main fire and gas system
2. Fire and gas system that uses to protect personnel, environment, and plant (including
equipment and structures). The FGS shall achieve these objectives by: Detecting at an early
stage, the presence of flammable gas, Detecting at an early stage, the liquid spill (LPG and
LNG),Detecting incipient fire and the presence of fire, Providing automatic and/or facilities for
manual activation of the fire protection system as required, Initiating signals, both audible and
visible as required, to warn of the detected hazards, Initiating automatic shutdown of
equipment and ventilation if 2 out of 2 or 2 out of 3 detectors Initiating the exhausting system.
3. Emergency Shutdown-(ESD) systems are aimed at isolating (closing) any hazardous valves in a
process due to abnormal conditions.

❖ CONCLUSIONS
1. If their overall safety is not yet implemented thoroughly and operational priority for the
institution, then safety will never be traded for research productivity.
2. Company policies and resource allocations have a strong impact on the ability and willingness to
help provide for a strong, positive safety culture. If a company or manufacturers wants to
develop and sustain a safe and productive, then it must consider the resources it has available
for safety and explore research options and requirements accordingly.
3. Contribution and engagement by both the director general for health and work safety and by
employees through an open and ongoing dialogue are critical to creating a strong, positive
safety culture. Safety culture is more likely to be sustained when safety issues are discussed
broadly and frequently as an integral part of all.
4. A company with a strong, positive safety culture engages with environmental health and safety
personnel collaboratively.
❖ RECOMMENDATION
1. The president and other institutional leaders must actively demonstrate that safety is a core
value of the institution and show an ongoing commitment to it.
2. Department chairs should provide a mechanism for creating a robust safety collaboration
between employers, director general, and environmental health and safety personnel.
3. Proper health and safety training must conduct for all employees, especially if there is a risk for
potential injury in the job.
