  • We will continuously implement occupational safety and health activities with the participation of all employees by focusing on preventive measures, aiming for zero occupational accidents.
  • Beyond just complying with the Industrial Safety and Health Act and other relevant laws and regulations, we will also identify environmental, safety and health issues in our business activities and adhere to company rules that reflect these issues.
  • To reduce employee fatigue and stress, we will promote the creation of a comfortable workplace environment where employees can work cheerfully and energetically, maintaining both mental and physical health.
  • We will strive to promote and instill the concept of traffic safety, and implement traffic safety campaigns in cooperation with local communities to achieve this goal.


　In addition, we implement measures to prevent occupational accidents, such as risk assessment of hazardous work, identification of near-miss incidents, prompt sharing of information across all business sites and implementation of countermeasures in the event of an accident, and prevention of recurrence of similar accidents. Furthermore, we hold monthly safety and health committee meetings at each business site and biannual company-wide safety and health committee meetings to exchange opinions.
