Main initiatives

All Aisan STOP6 activities

We were able to make significant progress in our efforts by identifying target operations, conducting risk assessments, and completing the development of procedures and training at all Group companies. Meanwhile, since activities and progress at each site vary, we will aim to strengthen collaboration and ensure that activities are fulfilled going forward.

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.
