Each year, our Safety Administration Office establishes Safety Administration Office policies based on evaluations of the previous year's safety and health performance, and provides support and guidance to each location. Meetings of safety managers and people in charge of safety attended by representatives from each location are held each year at the head office to share initiatives based on the Safety Administration Office policy and discuss measures to prevent recurrence of industrial accidents and other matters. Additionally, to exchange information on safety and check the status of safety management, the Safety Administration Office conducts safety patrols at each location based on an annual plan.
When an industrial accident occurs, the office spreads the word throughout the Group by disseminating information on the circumstances of the accident—including industrial accidents that do not result in absence from work, accidents resulting in property damage but no injuries, and traffic accidents—and measures to prevent recurrence. For serious industrial accidents, the Safety Administration Office leads onsite investigations and provides guidance on the necessary countermeasures, and the details are also shared within the Group. This information is reflected in hazard prediction training at each location in an effort to improve safety awareness and prevent similar accidents.

Every year, we conduct new employee safety training and regional hazard prediction training for East and West Japan. Each location also conducts hazard prediction training and hands-on safety courses as needed to enhance employees' sensitivity to danger. In level-based training for management and key managers, we strive to provide education commensurate with their respective positions as managers and supervisors to allow them to demonstrate their leadership abilities.
