Aiming to keep our operations free of occupational accidents, we strive to ensure that everyone working in our facilities is sensitive to potential dangers.Responding to occupational accidents that occurred in 2018, we are focusing on three key points in 2019. These are: 1) Thoroughly identifying potential dangers before engaging in non-routine work activities; 2) Ensuring the safety of inexperienced individuals; and 3) Safety activities undertaken together with contractors working on site.Health and safety management structureWe believe a united front between labor and management is vital to eliminating labor accidents. To confirm the status of health and safety activities at each plant and to deliberate and outline core initiatives related to health and safety, we convene Central Health and Safety Committee meetings attended by labor and management representatives, including executives responsible for occupational safety.In addition, Tokai Carbon holds monthly Regional Health and Safety Committee meetings to promote health and safety activities.Occupational accidentsThe rate of lost-time accidents over the most recent five years is as shown in the chart. For the years 2014 through 2016, our rate of lost-time accidents was below the average for manufacturing businesses with at least 100 employees.In 2018, we experienced two lost-time accidents. There were no accidents resulting in death.Health and safety initiativesAiming to eliminate labor accidents, Tokai Carbon continues to conduct near-miss reporting, KYT (Kiken Yochi (Danger Identification) Training), and other safety management activities, with participation by all employees. In the event of a labor accident or a significant near-miss event (cases that do not result in a labor accident but could lead directly to a serious accident), we disseminate this information internally and to Group companies to raise awareness and prevent the occurrence of similar incidents. To promote workplace mental health, we engage in initiatives such as holding training seminars at individual plants and conducting mental health seminars.Occupational safety and health Frequency rate: The number of deaths or injuries per million working hours.Note: As of April 2019, the 2018 frequency rate of deaths or injuries in manufacturing businesses with at least 100 employees has yet to be published.Experiential Safety TrainingSince 2017, we have been working with a third-party organization to conduct safety experiential training to make our employees more sensitive to potential dangers. In 2018, 74 employees, including new hires, underwent this training.37TOKAI CARBON ANNUAL REPORT 2018Vision and StrategyBusiness ReportFinancial ReportData SectionSustainability Report
