Equipment safety

Safety features and equipment safety design continue to evolve. For example, much of our recently installed manufacturing equipment is automated and equipped with interlocks and automatic shutdown systems to reduce the possibility of accidents.

Additionally, when TI purchases semiconductor manufacturing equipment, we require suppliers to submit an independent safety and ergonomics evaluation. If the report indicates the potential for moderate to high risks, we will not accept the shipment. If risks are slight, we retain up to 10 percent of the total cost of the equipment until the risks are addressed.
