Promotion System Related to Occupational Safety and Health
This fiscal year, our company established the Global Health and Safety Committee with the President and CEO as the Chairman and an Executive Officer as the Vice Chairman. We will promote the establishment of a unified safety system across the entire group and coordinate and strengthen global safety activities.
In Japan, we have also established the Central Health and Safety Committee (Secretariat: Health and Safety Promotion Department) to deliberate on important matters related to Health and Safety management and to achieve accident prevention and improvement of the working environment. This committee is chaired by an executive officer and operated by a total of 27 members: a vice chairperson, representatives from each business location, and labor union representatives. The committee holds meetings four times a year.

Targets and Achievements
Last year, the number of industrial accidents at our company's factories increased compared to the previous year. This year, we are continuing and strengthening last year's safety activities, while enhancing education aimed at raising employees' safety awareness. As a new initiative in particular, we have established a "Safety Experience Dojo," where employees can simulate dangers in practice, promoting education that leads to deeper understanding and behavioral change.
Our company aims to achieve "zero disasters" and will continue our efforts to improve each employee's safety awareness and to foster a safety culture throughout the workplace.

Activities to eliminate occupational accidents
- Strengthening workplace patrols and safety guidance by management
- Safety education for new employees and work confirmation by supervisors
- Implementation of safety awareness enhancement education for all employees
Activities to eliminate commuting accidents
- Preventing commuting accidents when going to work (act with plenty of time to spare)
- Accident/damage prevention (Danger prediction training)
- Thorough re-education on traffic safety for employees
Initiatives to Ensure Employee Safety
To ensure the occupational safety of our employees, we provide in-house education on occupational safety and health,
including safety and health training for site managers (six times per year), safety and health training for new hires
(new and mid-career employees), and lifesaving first aid training, to help employees acquire proper knowledge and
raise awareness about safety and health.
In addition, we continuously conduct safety diagnosis (risk assessment) of facilities and operations and conduct
improvement activities based on the diagnosis. Based on this, the Health and Safety Committee meets once a month at
each business site and conducts activities to ensure the safety and health of employees, including safety patrols,
disaster information dissemination, health information notifications from the medical office, and the sharing of
production status in the workplace. Furthermore, the Central Safety and Health Committee conducts annual labor safety
patrols to prevent occupational accidents, raise awareness of safety, and strengthen occupational safety activities
that incorporate the perspective of “cultivating awareness.”
Regarding traffic safety, traffic safety education is conducted during the spring and autumn traffic safety weeks with the aim of raising safety awareness. Traffic safety education is implemented in conjunction with these traffic safety weeks.
Initiatives to Promote Employee Health
To ensure the health of our employees, we conduct annual medical examinations and special medical examinations for
our employees and provide health guidance and health consultation services. In addition, nurses and industrial
physicians interview and provide guidance to employees who are suspected of overworking to manage their mental and
physical health. In addition, we measure the working environment once a year at workplaces that handle substances
subject to laws and regulations to prevent the generation of hazardous substances and ensure their proper
management.
In addition, to maintain and improve the health of our employees, we have established smoking areas to prevent passive
smoking and provide the following health support.
Conduct health seminars (on-demand delivery)
We are providing video content on self-care by occupational physicians to support employee health. This initiative promotes new approaches to health management in response to the growing prevalence of remote work, and raises awareness of self-medication practices.
Refreshing Health Festival
Every year the company, labor union, and health insurance union co-host
a project to create a "healthy, bright, and energetic workplace" that will generate the power to foster a bright and
energetic corporate identity and culture through exercise and strengthen solidarity and unity between the company and
its employees, including employees and their families. The program is held to help create a "healthy, bright, and
energetic workplace. (Walking, bowling, and other recreational activities)
Health Support System
As part of health management, we aim to further raise employees' health awareness by providing a full menu of health
care benefits, including physical examinations, milestone checkups, gynecological checkups, and family checkups (for
dependents).
Distribution of childcare support magazines
As part of our childcare support program, we send several childcare support booklets free of charge for a certain
period of time when you give birth to help families lead healthy lives.
