Occupational Health and Safety
Basic principles of occupational health and safety
The ShinMaywa Group acts in accordance with its basic principles of occupational health and safety, which state that safety and health take precedence over everything else. We are working to build a safe working environment and to achieve zero accidents.
Occupational Health and Safety Policy
- We act in accordance with our basic principles of occupational health and safety, which state that safety and health take precedence over everything else. Led by our general safety and health managers, we are engaged in Company-wide efforts to address health and safety.
- We monitor each other’s compliance with basic rules (rules, regulations, procedures, etc.) and communicate closely so that we can ensure each other’s safety.
- Managers and supervisors are strongly determined to prevent accidents from occurring in their own workplace, and are striving to foster a work environment in which all employees are united in their efforts in health and safety activities.
- We use risk assessment effectively to eliminate disaster risk. We actively utilize the PDCA (plan, do, check, act) cycle of our safety measures with the goal of creating a safe and secure working environment
- To prevent accidents caused by people’s unsafe behavior, we make improvements to achieve inherent safety. This is so that even if a worker makes an error, it does not lead to an accident.
- Each worker is deeply aware that unsafe work behavior causes accidents, and is committed to daily work with a determination to never act unsafely.
Health and safety action guidelines (Company-wide key safety themes)
Each fiscal year, we define a Company-wide key safety theme, and set ourselves a goal as a means of preventing industrial accidents among our employees. We are joining forces to engage in health and safety activities to create a safe and secure working environment.
“Let’s foster a culture of safety through reporting, fairness, flexibility, and learning!”

Specific initiatives in occupational health and safety
The ShinMaywa Group has appointed persons in charge of health
and safety in each division and at each Group company, with the aim
of preventing occupational accidents among employees. We have
formulated health and safety policies and prepared action plans
based on these policies. We are working to improve safety measures
in both tangible and intangible ways, with the Health and Safety
Committee serving as a central body to establish, operate, and
improve risk assessment systems and at the same time utilize IT and
digital technologies to prevent accidents.
In addition, we are also focusing on health and safety training for
employees. Through various measures, we are working to establish
a training system that is tailored to each organization and business
contents. For example, we hold safety conferences to share the
results of health and safety activities in each business division and
at each Group company, provide special training to new employees
and to those changing workplaces, and offer thorough guidance
through on-site training and safety and health patrols during
on-the-job training.
