1. Safety Activities
The major cause of accidents is unsafe conduct originating with people. Human patterns ofbehavior, such as mistaken assumptions, carelessness, taking shortcuts, and skippingtasks, results in unsafe conduct, which can bring about accidents. In order to prevent
unsafe conduct, we must establish a climate of quickly pointing out and warning others
when we see violations of the rules and unsafe conduct. We are actively communicatingwith partner companies and promoting the elimination of unsafe conduct and the creationof a safety culture with a strong belief that all employees on worksites must not cause

accidents.
2. Participation in Local Environment Beautification ActivitiesEvery year, we call for in-house participation in a local waterfront cleaning strategy (waterfront cleanup volunteers) fromeveryone working at Zeon North along with their families. In 2013, 38 people participated in the Himi Waterfront Cleanup,and 43 in the Kokubu Beach Waterfront Cleanup. In the refreshing early morning climate, everyone worked together to sortand collect the garbage that had gathered on the beach. This activity helped us to understand the effect of our actions on
the environment, and it was a good chance to raise our awareness of environmental conservation.
