Occupational safety and health initiatives

The Topre Group has enacted Safety and Health Management Regulations, establishes the matters required for safety and health management, and carries out continuous occupational safety and health management independently toreducethe potential danger of occupational accidents, promote the health of all employees, promote comfortable work environments and improve the level of safety and health at all plants.
In addition, the Topre Group's occupational safety and health management system has been established, with the General Manager of the Administrative Headquarters, who is also a Director, Senior Executive Officer, as the person in charge.

Initiatives for the creation of safe workplaces

Handling when occupational accidents and incidents occur

We have established guidelines for dealing with accidents when they occur that apply to the occurrence of accidents at the Topre Group, stating clearly how to handle accident victims, including moving them, emergency treatment and methods of transportation.
In addition, the safety manager at the workplace where an accident occurs will grasp the state of the accident and prepare an accident report aimed at the prevention of similar accidents.
Reports are rolled out horizontally throughout the group as safety bulletins through Safety Health Sect.

In recent years, there have been no serious accidents* resulting in permanent physical disabilities, but serious accidents are positioned as a priority issue for each business location, and many of the serious accidents in the past have been accidents resulting from fingers getting caught during production equipment malfunctions.
Measures to prevent the recurrence of all workplace accidents, including serious accidents, include making sure that "standards are reviewed, stopped, and corrected when production equipment malfunctions or undergoes maintenance!" as well as strengthening safety checks of equipment when it is installed, providing relevant workers with skill improvement education and establishing solid foundations for the skills, and preparing and using manuals, as well as providing regular education to prevent workplace accidents.
Furthermore, during the period of our 16th Medium-Term Management Plan, from fiscal year 2024 to fiscal year 2026, we aim to maintain the number of serious occupational accidents at zero.

*Serious accidents: Work-related accidents involving death, physical disabilities, three or more injuries, explosions, fires, ruptures, collapses, or large-scale leakage of hazardous materials.

Implementation of meetings of Safety and Health Committees

The Topre Group has established a Safety and Health Committee at all plants, regardless of the number of employees, and they hold meetings once a month.
The committees implement surveys and hold deliberations on matters related to safety and health management, report on the safety and health of employees, and consider and implement specific measures to address the problems raised.

Risk assessment for newly introduced equipment and chemical substances

Topre Group conducts risk assessments in advance for new equipment and only introduces equipment that is intrinsically safe.
In addition, for newly introduced chemical substances, we take safety measures, including purchasing permission, after considering factors such as the usage situation.
In addition, apart from the introduction of new equipment and the use of chemical substances, we aim to create a workplace where people can work with peace of mind by conducting risk assessment activities on a daily basis, as stated in our efforts to create a safe workplace.

Safety and Health Education

At each business site, we provide safety and health education to new employees, midcareer employees, and temporary employees when they are hired, as well as to managers such as plant leaders and other supervisors, older workers, and those who require specialized skills and knowledge, in order to improve employee safety awareness.

Initiatives at Topre Sagamihara Plant

Health management and promotion initiatives

In order to create safe and secure work environments, the Topre Group promotes better health through the cooperation of the company, labor union, health insurance union, employees and their families.

Implementation of health checkups

We are focusing on initiatives towards the health of each and every employee based on the regular implementation of medical examinations and special medical examinations.
Industrial physicians and public health nurses hold meetings with employees at health risk and provide health guidance, such as recommending medical examinations and reviews of lifestyle habits, to promote health improvements.

Responses to global health issues

As a company with overseas bases, Topre Group recognizes the importance of responding to global health issues such as the world's three major infectious diseases (HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria), and is actively working to address them.
To prevent all infectious diseases, including the world's three major infectious diseases (HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria), we provide health checkups for employees assigned overseas and their accompanying families, support through interviews before assignment, thorough vaccinations, and comprehensive medical support at the local site.

No smoking awareness activities

The World Health Organization (WHO) has pointed out that smoking causes disease and health problems.
The Topre Group works on the prevention of passive smoking, and has limited and reduced the number of smoking areas internally.
Moreover, we have established the week including World No Tobacco Day as “No Smoking Week,” during which we refrain from selling cigarettes and call on all employees to stop smoking.
Furthermore, in association with the “No Smoking Day” established by the Tobacco Control Medical-Dental Research Network, we promote no smoking internally on the 22nd of each month (or the day before if it falls on a holiday) as a no smoking day.

Improvements to the workplace environment based on the results of stress checks

Based on the results of organizational stress check analyses, we hold interviews in divisions with high stress levels, as part of efforts to improve the workplace environment, with the aim of building a better workplace environment.

Responses to mental health care for employees

Implementation of health consultation services for the “mind” and “body” (health/medical telephone consultation service)

1. 24-hour telephone health and medical consultation *Employees and their families Consultation staff such as experienced doctors, public health nurses, and nurses will provide advice on matters such as health, medical care, nursing care, childcare, and mental health.
