Main initiatives
Hands-on safety education where you learn with your colleagues
We will provide opportunities to learn safety together with colleagues through hands-on learning that involves seeing, touching, and feeling. This includes renewal of the Safety Dojo, VR accident simulators, mobile safety and accident-prevention trucks, etc.
Establishment of the Health and Safety Day
In order to make safety and health an ordinary and natural part of our corporate culture, we designated the days with a zero (0) in them as Health and Safety Day each month, and promoted voluntary activities by small groups. While some have praised the activities as a form of workplace communication, some workplaces have not yet established these activities. As such, we will work to provide tools and information to help them establish and stimulate these activities
Development of safety awareness indicators(visualization)
The Company decided to use a questionnaire to visualize the actual status of safety awareness (trends, issues, etc.) and to develop indicators of awareness levels in order to make more focused and effective efforts. Going forward, we will develop activities based on this reality to raise the level of awareness, leading to the creation of “mutually enlightening” people and culture.
