Safety Management System
Safety review meetings are held regularly by the officers in charge of environment and safety in order to motivate each business site regarding occupational safety and health, security management, and to coordinate policies. At these meetings, we confirm priority implementation items for each business site based on company-wide policies, discuss progress and issues, and also have dialogue with people at all levels to identify health and safety management issues and provide feedback to company-wide policies.
Conferences aimed at identifying potential dangers related to explosion, fire and leakage posed by each manufacturing process and formulating countermeasures.
Denka conducts risk assessments including the safety of existing facilities and plants in accordance with its basic policy on occupational health and safety and security.
In each stage from research and development to commercialization, design review meetings are held to identify and eliminate risks prior to commercialization. Furthermore, when introducing new equipment, a pre-introduction safety assessment is conducted, and when changing operating conditions, change management is thoroughly implemented to confirm the presence or absence of risks.
Denka has appointed the President as the head of the Safety Measures Headquarters, and the Environmental & Safety Department, which is the corporate department of the Denka Group, oversees and supports the Group-wide health and safety activities.
At each business office, health and safety committees meet once a month, where management personnel led by safety managers and labor union members elected as employee representatives investigate and discuss health and safety issues as well as the causes of occupational accidents and measures to prevent their recurrence. Through these activities, labor and management work together to reduce occupational health and safety risks.
At the meetings of our overseas and domestic group companies, personnel from our mother factory also participate to share our health and safety policies and activities.
In fiscal 2020, we held a web-based meeting to report on safety initiatives conducted by all logistics divisions. In addition, we conducted safety rule education for first-time drivers entering our premises, as well as yellow card (emergency contact card) training for logistics disasters and accidents, which is regularly held by our logistics contractors, to facilitate the exchange of opinions on logistics safety and raise safety awareness.
In fiscal 2022, we will continue to promote the review of logistics operations and prevent logistics disasters through the promotion of the White Logistics Movement, in addition to continuing various activities for logistics safety.
