Safety and health management
Aiming for a “safe and people-friendly workplace,” we are advancing the improvement of both hard and soft aspects of the workplace environment, and working on the building of a workplace in which all employees can endeavor to maintain and improve their physical and mental health, constantly have the willingness to improve, and work energetically with high motivation in a safe and comfortable environment.
Furthermore, we have been operating our safety and health management systems based on the Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS*) guidelines of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. In order to achieve a safe and comfortable workplace, we are implementing a full range of education and training and other risk assessments, and advancing improvements to intrinsic safety.

Ensuring fire prevention and disaster prevention
The Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 caused an enormous amount of damage primarily in the Tohoku region. It is said that it would be no great surprise if a “Tokai earthquake,” “earthquake in western Kanagawa Prefecture,” etc. occurred at any time in Kanagawa Prefecture as well, and it is predicted that in the case that any of these earthquakes occur, Hiratsuka City, where Nissan Shatai is located, would experience shaking with a seismic intensity of about 5 or 6 and enormous harm would be caused. Furthermore, if earthquakes or fires and typhoons, etc. occur, there is a possibility not only that valuable property will be lost but also that the lives of many people, including all of the neighborhood residents, will be endangered, so routine preparations are necessary in order to keep the harm to a minimum in the event that these disasters occur. For that reason, we are endeavoring to enhance our equipment and materials management in relation to fire prevention and disaster prevention, and constantly prepare for disasters because we do not know when they will occur, including establishment of the Disaster Prevention Base (Earthquake Command Headquarters), collaboration with disaster prevention agencies and the Nissan Group companies, regular implementation of disaster prevention training, etc. Regarding initiatives for fire prevention, we conduct fire prevention education for all of the relevant people, and implement fire prevention patrols by workplace experts, etc. throughout the year. Furthermore, we have introduced “F-PES* evaluations,” a Nissan Group common standard for quantitatively evaluating the risk of a fire breaking out, to improve our fire prevention management level.
* F-PES: an abbreviation for Fire-Prevention Evaluation System. The system’s purpose is to “prevent the outbreak and spread of fires in Nissan and its affiliated companies and subcontractors.” It is a system which quantitatively evaluates the risk of a fire breaking out and aims to smoothly and efficiently advance fire prevention operations without any oversights.

Traffic safety activities
As a player in the automobile industry, naturally we work for compliance with the traffic rules and we are also engaged in activities to improve driver etiquette and prevent traffic accidents.
◆Activities for traffic accident prevention
We use the test course at the Hadano Office to hold the SDH (Safe Driving School in Hadano) to make an effort to improve the driving skills of our employees.
We are working to prevent accidents by getting the employees to learn the correct driving position and the correct way to operate the accelerator, brake and steering wheel and to master the method for escaping from the vehicle in the event that it overturns.

◆Awareness-building activities for traffic accident prevention
On Safety and Fire Prevention Day, the third Thursday of every month, we raise safety awareness by providing guidance on standing guard in front of our gate.
◆Participation in the “Safety Challenge Kanagawa” organized by Kanagawa Prefecture
We participate in the “Safety Challenge Kanagawa” which involves teams of three people challenging themselves to achieve zero accidents and zero violations over six months (July 1 to December 31), with the aim of traffic accident prevention.
