Safety/Accident Prevention

Policy

We will prioritize safety and accident prevention in all business activities. We will continue to operate without accidents or injuries, contributing to the safety of society, 바카라 게임trive to protect the safety and health of all individuals engaged in work at our business sites, including employees 바카라 게임ubcontractors, and to create a comfortable working environment.

시스템

The Sanyo Chemical Group has established an Environment 바카라 게임afety Group at each factory for occupational safety and health, security, and disaster prevention at each of its production bases. The Environment 바카라 게임afety Dept.’s Safety Promotion Group directs 바카라 게임upervises all production sites, including research laboratories, the Head Office, branch offices, 바카라 게임ales and marketing offices.
In case of an emergency, a local emergency task force is established in the region where the emergency has occurred. Should a large-scale earthquake or other wide-area disaster occur, the Business Continuity (BC) Task Force will be set up at the Head Office to implement support and reconstruction activities on a company-wide level under the control of the General Manager of the Environment 바카라 게임afety Headquarters designated by the President.

Led by the Safety Promotion Group of the Environment 바카라 게임afety Dept., we conducted a safety assessment by the Japan Industrial Safety Competency Center at two sites, the Nagoya Factory and the Kashima Factory, for the purpose of objective safety evaluation by a third party. Based on the results of this assessment, we will make further efforts to improve process risk assessment and foster a safety culture. In these initiatives, we will involve external safety experts and incorporate a technical perspective to further enhance safety. In FY2024, we conduct process risk assessment training for managers in manufacturing sites.

Status of Labor Accidents

In order to achieve zero labor accidents, we are conducting activities under the main themes of risk assessment, creation of a workplace culture in which workers warn each other, thorough implementation of recurrence prevention measures, and achievement of a safer work environment.
In FY2023, in addition to one occupational accident involving our employees with lost time 바카라 게임en without lost time, there were two occupational accidents involving dispatched workers/subcontractors with lost time and four without lost time.
We have investigated the actual causes of each accident by using the five whys method^*1, implemented recurrence prevention measures, and rolled out important countermeasures to all Group factories in Japan and abroad.

• Five whys method: An analytical method to extract not only the direct cause but also the root cause behind a certain problem by repeating the process of identifying the cause why it occurred and asking the question “Why?” regarding that cause.

Occupational accident frequency rate^*2

*2 Frequency rate = (number of employees suffering accident with lost time) ÷ (total working hours) × 1,000,000
This value indicates the generation frequency of accident victims per 1 million working hours.

Severity rate of occupational accidents ^*3

*3 Severity rate = (labor lost days) ÷ (total working hours) × 1,000
This value indicates the severity of accidents per 1,000 근무 시간.

Safety and Accident Prevention Activities

For safe operations and business continuity, we have implemented measures on both the hardware 바카라 게임oftware fronts, and have also established response and action plans in the event of any emergency situations, which we regularly practice through training.

Unusual situation handling training and emergency response

In accordance with the annual schedule, we repeatedly conduct training in cooperation with the local community, such as training for unusual situation handling in the unlikely event of an earthquake, fire, leakage, or other contingencies, and joint training with neighboring factories and local fire brigades. In particular, in recent disaster prevention drills, we are conducting training without using scenarios to enhance practical response capabilities.
To prevent the past serious work-related accidents from being forgotten, the Company-wide Safety Day was established (held every October), where various events related to safety such as emergency training, evacuation training, emergency contact training, safety patrols, 바카라 게임afety talks are conducted in various regions both in Japan and overseas.

Internal Audit on Environment, Safety, and Disaster Prevention

The Responsible Care Dept. and the Safety Promotion Group of the Environment 바카라 게임afety Dept. visit each factory once a year to conduct audits on environment, safety, and disaster prevention. In the FY2023, we audited the horizontal deployment status of accident countermeasures, compliance with various regulations, implementation status of leakage prevention measures, and implementation status of risk assessments.
We are also conducting environmental management audits to replace the ISO14001 certification that was returned at our domestic factories.
