Taipei City Government

To celebrate Labor Day, facilities and places across the city offer specials and discounts for holders of the occupational safety card through the entire month of May.
 
The deals include free admissions to attractions including Taipei Zoo, Taipei Children’s Amusement Park, Shilin Official Residence, Miniatures Museum of Taiwan, and National Palace Museum. Other facilities, such as Taipei 101 Observatory and Miramar Ferris Wheel, offer discounted admissions and deals on selected foods and merchandise.
 
The Department of Labor (DOL) has offered a range of occupational health and safety trainings for workers in highly hazardous sectors and occupations to raise awareness of workplace safety and call for employers to commit to occupational health and safety. Up to this point, about 25,000 workers have completed trainings and received the occupational safety card.
 
At a press conference highlighting Labor Day deals on April 30, DOL signed an occupational safety partnership declaration with trade unions representing workers in construction, woodworking, plumbing, electrical, and refrigeration and air conditioning engineering industries. Deputy Mayor Chen Chin-jun presented certificates of gratitude to these unions and representatives from facilities that sign up for the deals program for the first time.
 
Citing the recent deadly factory fire in Taoyuan, DOL Commissioner Lai Hsiang-lin reiterated the importance of occupational safety training and said the Labor Inspection Office will step up workplace safety inspections targeting manufactures of potentially hazardous chemicals to ensure worker safety.
