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
当社グループは従業員の労働災害を未然に防止するため、各事業部およびグループ会社において安全衛生委員会を構成して安全衛生活動を展開してきましたが、さらなる実効性の向上を図るべく2024年度から安全衛生推進体制を見直し、｢社長｣を頂点とし、次に｢役員会議｣、｢勤労部長会議｣、｢安全担当者会議｣で構成する中央安全管理体制を構築しました。これにより各事業部、グループ会社の｢安全衛生委員会｣からの情報を速やかに共有するとともにトップダウンによる安全の維持・向上に向けた迅速な指示伝達を全従業員にスピーディーかつ確実に展開できる仕組みを構築しました。
引き続き、リスクアセスメント体制の確立･運用･改善を行うとともに、IT･デジタル技術を災害発生予防に活用するなど、ソフトとハード両面での安全対策向上に取り組んでいます。
また、従業員の安全衛生教育にも注力しており、各事業部およびグループ会社では安全衛生活動の実績を発表する｢安全大会｣の開催、新入社員受入時や職場転換時の特別教育の実施、OJTによる現場教育や安全衛生巡視による指導の徹底など、組織や事業内容に応じた教育体系の構築に取り組んでいます。
