Safety

Basic Safety and Health Policy

We have established a Basic Safety and Health Policy which reads, ¡°We implement occupational health and safety measures (COHSMS) to uphold the basic principle of respecting human life, to comply with the law, and in consideration of all people related to our Company. All people that work at our offices cooperate to achieve a safe, healthy, and comfortable workplace environment and to promote physical and mental health.¡± Under that, we are committed to ensuring the safety. and health of not only our employees, but also temporary staff, sub-contractors and their crews, and all workers at construction work sites.

Frequency rate of injuries (occupational injury rate)
Our calulation of the number of occupational injuries is based on injuries requiring four of more days of absence from work

Eliminating long working hours and creating comfortable workplaces

Nishimatsu designated fiscal 2017 as the ¡°First Year of Work Style Innovation,¡± and has been rolling out initiatives across the Company. In order to solve the particularly pressing problem of long working hours, we are reviewing and implementing a variety of measures, including increasing the efficiency of work processes that contribute to productivity, encouraging the use of ICT devices, and closing construction sites two days a week.

While working to reduce long working hours, we will set KPIs (numerical targets and timelines) so that going forward we can monitor the progress of efforts to promote the use of annual leave and introduce more flexible work styles. Through these initiatives, we are striving to enhance and continue work style innovation.

Concrete Initiatives

Occupational Health and Safety Management System

Our occupational health and safety management system operates in accordance with Japan¡¯s Construction Occupational Health and Safety Management System (COHSMS). We have transitioned away from the reactive approach of trying to prevent injuries from recurring after they have happened to a safety management approach that removes potential causes of injury in advance through risk assessment. Our aim is to continuously improve health and safety management standards by applying the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle.

Major initiatives
  1. 1Eliminating human error to greatly reduce occupational injuries
  2. 2Improving safe installation practices and enhancing education on health and safety, with efforts centered on foremen
  3. 3Establishing a standard Company-wide health and safety system
