Self-Evaluation: ◎= Achieved, ○= Mostly achieved, △= Not achieved

Planned Measures
1. Management recognizes that safety measures must be improved since the target rate for injuries was not achieved. Accordingly,
more than one round of “pointing and calling” will be required at construction sites and routine inspections will be conducted toensure that the pointing-and-calling method is always used.
2. Project management training will be provided to managers of subcontractors during safety meetings to ensure that they understandtheir obligations as construction project managers.
3. Although the percentage of vacation days taken by employees increased, more needs to be done to reduce long working hours. ICT
will be further applied for that purpose, including the use of apps designed to raise productivity.
4. To increase the percentage of vacation days taken by employees posted overseas, we revised Company regulations in line withactual work conditions to make it easier to use vacation days. We will continue using education programs to promote their use.
