Close report of a day of《inspection to prevent serious accidents》in SEPM
AM 0 8 : 0 0Preliminary desktop inspection to clarify the areas to check on site

GovernancePM 0 1 : 3 0Business Outline

The inspection to prevent serious accidents literally aims toprevent serious disasters and equivalent events. A desktop
inspection using a serious disaster prevention check sheet isconducted prior to an on-site inspection, and the safety
inspection team holds interviews concerning the operations andequipment that need to be addressed. Since there are differencesin the recognition of safety among staff in different countries, it isvery important to hold a preliminary meeting using a check sheet.

On-site inspection to eliminate causes ofserious disasters

PM 0 4 : 3 0Group's CSR Activities

The safety inspection team members look around the site to
identify any equipment that is in an unsafe state, any issue thatcan lead to an unsafe action of an operator and any defect inmanagement, and in case of any
finding, they directly interview therelevant workers to understand thecurrent situation. The finding iscommunicated to the workers on thespot to encourage them to make
improvement.

Sharing of the results and completion of countermeasures

CoreCategory

After the on-site inspection, the results are reported. Any issues
and findings identified through the inspection are shared by allmembers. Countermeasures are thoroughly taken, and also
introduced into any similar equipment, operations and processes.
