Safety Activities
As part of our occupational health and safety management system, we are engaged in activities seeking to minimize the risk of industrial accidents in the workplace through risk assessment, KYT (danger prediction training) activities and filing of cases of near misses.
Holding Health and Safety Committee Meetings
Health and safety committees or sub-committees are set up in each office of the company and perform such activities as safety patrols with the aim of creating workplaces with zero accidents and zero illnesses.
Disaster Prevention Education and Drills
AED and rescue lectures for in-company fire-fighting teams as well as drills using hoses are held, along with regular evacuation and fire drills for all employees.
Distribution of Employee Emergency Contact Cards
All employees have been given emergency contact cards noting what they should do in case of fire or earthquake and which they must carry at all times, allowing them to minimize the harm caused in a disaster.
Health Examinations
In order to check the state of health of our employees, we hold regular health checkups, lifestyle disease checkups, checkups for those being sent overseas along with irregular checkups.
Health Consultations
The occupational health physician and nurse give health guidance after the checkups as well as consultations for long-term working health and for mental health.
Health Education
We have set up classes to support employees quitting smoking and to improve their diet in order to promote knowledge regarding health and to improve fitness. We also publish Health Promotion News each month to raise awareness amongst employees regarding health management.
Opening of External Health Consultation Office
Through contracting with external medical institutions we allow our employees and their families to utilize telephone consultations on injuries or illnesses as well as a "second opinion service" offering introductions to specialists. We also have mental health support services offering phone or in-person counseling for such issues.
