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
当社グループでは、従業員の労働災害を未然に防止するため、迅速な再発防止対策の策定および各部署における類似災害発生防止と安全対策の水平展開を目的として、2024年度に労働災害発生時の情報の一元化とその運用ルールの厳格化、ならびに安全管理体制の見直しを実施しました。
労働災害発生件数については昨年度から増加が見られます。これは運用ルールの変更による影響もありますが、コロナ禍後の企業活動の活発化に伴い、実質的な災害件数が増加していることは否めません。
こうした状況を鑑み、これまで掲げてきた「安全と健康を守ることは全てに優先する」という基本理念を引き続き「新明和安全衛生ポリシー」とし、具体的対策として既存の作業手順書に「絶対やってはいけない禁止作業」を追記し、「効率よりも決められた手順の遵守」を徹底する意識づけに注力していきます。また、リスクアセスメントを有効活用して災害リスクの撲滅に努め、安全対策のPDCAサイクルを確実に回すことで、安全・安心な作業環境の構築をさらに進めていきます。
加えて、新入社員受入れ時や部署異動時の特別教育、OJTや安全衛生巡視による指導の徹底など、これまで取り組んできた組織や事業内容に応じた教育体系の構築にも注力し、安全文化の醸成に努めていきます。
