Safety and Health Committee

We are thoroughly committed to a "safety-first" policy, and are attempting to establish a culture of safety while striving to build an organization where occupational safety and health measures are promoted autonomously throughout the company. We have established safety and health committees on each of our campuses. We hold safety and health committee meetings monthly, and take employee feedback into consideration in making workplaces more comfortable.

Examples of initiatives for occupational safety and health activities

  • 1. Safety Subcommittee meetings are held within each manufacturing division, in which potential risks based on close calls are identified and analyzed, countermeasures and measures to reduce work risks are proposed, and workplace patrols are conducted to revise instructions.
  • 2. If an injury (occupational accident) occurs, the campus manager, Safety and Health Group, and related members of the department to which the injured worker belongs meet to investigate the accident in order to verify the cause, and establish measures to prevent recurrence.
  • 3. Information on any injuries, damage, loss, or traffic accidents that occur within the company is shared by the Safety and Health Committee, which also meets to discuss whether measures to prevent recurrence are effective and confirm whether there are any latent risks for similar accidents, in order to prevent recurrence.
  • 4. Risk reduction activities conducted by Safety Subcommittees are reported within the Safety and Health Committee, and these activities are established throughout the organization if necessary. Expert committees also conduct workplace patrols.
