Safety
Safety Policy
We keep in mind that safe and stable operations are the basis of corporate activities and prevent accidents and disasters.
We comply with laws and regulations and other standards, and strive for health & safety, security & disaster prevention and product safety.
We continuously improve health & safety management and security & disaster prevention systems and work together to engage in health & safety activities and security & disaster prevention activities.
Security & Disaster Prevention
Restructure of the management system
Some of the blowing agents used in our manufacturing processes contain flammable gases. We have taken measures against static electricity ignition for a long time, such as using static eliminators to reduce the voltage of the static charge and water mist to suppress the occurrence of static electricity. With the aim of further optimizing these measures and strengthening management, we are working to restructure the management system for on-site analysis and for the deployment of information between plants and divisions. We will continue to make further efforts in security and disaster prevention to ensure that our plants are safe for our employees and for the residents of the neighborhoods.
Logistics Safety
Logistics Accidents
The majority of trucking accidents occur at customer sites. 12 trucking accidents occurred in FY2023 in Japan. Backing accidents and collisions with the eaves (upper part of the building) were particularly frequent. In order to promote safety awareness among drivers, we ask them to thoroughly check the "six directions (front, back, left, right, up, and down)" around the truck.
In addition, transport quality council meetings are held regularly with carriers at each plant to discuss safety, quality, environment and logistics-related issues. Our target number of trucking accidents for FY2024 is 10 less in Japan. We will continue to implement various safety measures to achieve this goal.
White Logistics Movement
In response to the serious shortage of truck drivers in Japan, "White Logistics" is recommended to ensure stable logistics necessary for people's daily lives and industrial activities, as well as to be useful for economic growth. As part of our efforts to promote "White Logistics," we have declared our "Declaration of Voluntary Action for White Logistics" and are actively addressing logistics issues, including the 2024 problem in Japanese logistics, such as "improvement of truck transportation productivity and logistics efficiency" and "realization of a healthier working environment where everyone can work comfortably.
Occupational Health and Safety
“Safety First” established throughout the JSP Group
As safety needs to be addressed by the whole Group, we have started regular safety activities by each business division, involving not only the manufacturing plants but also the administrative departments of each business division. We aim to further develop safety activities and spread safety awareness throughout the JSP Group by exchanging information between our plants that manufacture the same products and by sharing information with administrative departments in the head office, etc., and exchanging views from different perspectives from those of the manufacturing plants.
“Safety First” is a commitment that we will continue to make throughout the JSP Group.
