Health & Safety Management

Based on our Corporate Philosophy of contributing to society and establishing an attractive company, and guided by our Safety Management Vision and the guidelines for its realization, we promote activities that prioritize safety and create safe and comfortable working environments for everyone involved with the company.

Based on an understanding of the importance of human life as a basic principle, we thoroughly implement safety-first planning and construction and fulfill our social responsibilities in our corporate activities out of respect for the law. Aiming to protect the health and lives of workers and create more comfortable working environments, we will establish a management foundation on which we can conduct reliable and sustainable corporate activities through our contributions to society.

We have established our own Taikisha Industrial Health and Safety Management System based on the basic principles of respect for human life and a spirit of compliance. We have established a Safety Headquarters at the headquarters and a safety management department in each division, and these are responsible for overall management as well as providing support for the safety activities of individual branches and offices.

Taikisha measures and monitors the effects of safety activities by using a frequency rate that indicates the frequency of industrial accidents and a severity rate that indicates the severity of accidents as safety indicators. The transition of these indicators is as follows.

unit: %

unit: Cases

Taikisha created the videos of past accident cases, including crashes and falls, and have begun viewing them to prevent similar accidents. We plan to expand these videos to our overseas offices in the future.

Every two years, the Safety Headquarters conducts an audit of each overseas office and workplace to ensure that they are in compliance with occupational health and safety management activities based on each site's health and safety management system.

On an annual basis, engineering and safety staff of overseas affiliates are assembled in Japan to be provided with safety education, in an effort to improve their safety management skills. In FY2024, we invited technical staff from overseas affiliates to Japan, and held a meeting of safety managers of overseas affiliates group safety training.

Taikisha implements the following initiatives with the aim to develop safety staff in Japan and overseas.

An information-sharing website was launched for all the safety staff including overseas staff. Safety information and manuals are available in Japanese, English and Chinese.

In FY 2023, we conducted five safety training sessions in Japan for 167 young employees, who have been working for four to ten years since they joined the company, as position-specific employee training. We are working to raise the safety awareness of our 1,086 overseas staff by conducting e-learning twice a year and sending safety e-mail bulletins twice a month. In FY 2024, we are planning to conduct safety training, including hazard experiences using VR, for new employees, employees of respective branch offices and bases, and subcontractors. We will continue to conduct e-learning for overseas staff, including distributing a video of some accidents that occurred at our overseas bases.

The Company set a rule that requires each office, etc. to provide education to its staff and partners about the systems and other matters in accordance with the “education manual for employee preparatory training, business partner training, staff preparatory training and site staff training,” and planned or conducted about 15 different safety trainings at various offices including Safety Headquarters. The Safety Headquarters also conducts training for new staff and new managers as well as various other level-specific training sessions once a year.
