An accident occurred at the Kaohsiung factory site of TSMC (2330), the leading wafer foundry, during the steel structure construction process this evening (20th), causing four outsourcer workers to fall. TSMC stated that the relevant projects have been suspended independently. The construction site safety team is cooperating with relevant units on site to clarify the cause of the accident and supervise and assist the subcontractors to handle follow-up matters.

TSMC stated that relevant rescue personnel from the factory area provided first aid at the scene as soon as possible, and the four construction workers were immediately sent to the hospital by ambulance for treatment, and the competent authorities were notified. At present, the construction site is within the scope of delivery and contracting, and related projects have been suspended independently.
