Safety
The TEL Group gives the highest consideration to the safety and health of every person connected withour business activities, from top management to frontline staff. All of our staff acts in accordance with
their respective responsibilities and we maintain constant awareness of potential problems and the need tocontinually improve our safety and health standards.

It is important for every individual to raise their own safety awareness in orderto achieve work sites where all employees can work safely. To promote safetystandards, the TEL Group has established a universal framework consistingof a supervising Safety Meeting and specialized Work Safety Promotion andEquipment Safety Promotion Meeting. This organization identifies the cause ofboth accidents resulting in injury or damage due to equipment or human error
and makes efforts to prevent similar incidents from reoccurring.

Safety promotion framework

Safety Meeting
Information about common and importantmatters related to safety of the entire Groupis shared, and intensive debates are held
when necessary. Basic policies are sharedand distributed to the entire Group.

Work Safety Promotion Meeting
Work safety-related matters at customer’sbases and TEL Group bases are discussed
from a global perspective, and put intopractice.

Equipment Safety Promotion Meeting
Sharing and complying with regulations related
to equipment safety will enhance safety.

Equipment safety measures
The TEL Group examines global laws and regulation, abides by all safety
regulations of the region our equipment is shipped from, and allows inspections
by safety certification organizations when necessary.
In addition, we carry out risk assessments during the development phase
while considering the equipment’s capabilities and life cycle, and based onthese results implement intrinsically safe equipment designs*1 to reduce theserisks. We also created subcommittees and improved the safety performancewith newly acquired companies by examining products with lengthy histories
and sharing methods to improve them.
We will continue these efforts and enhance the safety of all of the TEL Group’sequipment.

I n Fo c u s Taking part in safety training

According to the survey we conducted after our employees completed theirsafety education, many participants indicated that they liked that the content
could be applied in real-life operations.
●I knew that work needs to be temporarily stopped when trouble occurs,
but I learned once again that there is no need to hesitate. I will put this into
practice starting tomorrow.

●I had no idea that even a trace of alcohol could result in an explosion, orthat an electrical short could cause such large sparks. I want to be aware ofthese things so I can avoid them when I am working, and regularly take partin training so my awareness does not fade.

Education*1 Intrinsically safe equipment design: By coming up with innovative machinery design, this eliminates the causes of machinery posing a hazard to people.

0.33
TCIR*2 value

As the Tokyo Electron Group carries out accident prevention activities on
an ongoing basis, this facilitates a decrease in accidents. As a result, theoccurrence rate of injuries from accidents during work—as indicated by
the TCIR value—has maintained a world-class safety standard of lessthan 0.5 since 2006. In fiscal 2014 we achieved a TCIR value of 0.33.

Efforts for accident prevention
As part of our social responsibility activities, the TEL Group places great
importance on ensuring that everyone involved in our business can work ina safe workplace environment and enjoy good health by regularly holding
safety promotion meetings in Japan and overseas. In particular, the number ofaccidents that could have led to severe injury*3 was reduced by 70% in fiscal
2014 from the fiscal 2011 level due to our diligent efforts. In addition, the overall
rate for workplace accidents*4 including mild injuries was reduced by 33%*.
*Accidents counted with the same conditions as the previous fiscal year (excluding accidents that occurred at
the four companies we acquired in fiscal 2013, and traffic accidents that occurred at the TEL Group).

Workplace initiatives
When equipment is being operated in a customer’s clean room, signs indicating“in operation” are posted on the operating equipment and auxiliary systems.
This eliminates the potential danger of stopping the wrong machine of the same
type by mistake, and also eliminates the risk of an individual other than a worker
operating the equipment by mistake.
Also, based on the Group’s global guidelines we inspect the facilities andsafety equipment as well as the safety standards at our customer’s new factory
before delivering our equipment. We examine and identify potential problems
or questions regarding safety and work procedures, and work only begins after
making the necessary preparations and improvements to the environment
with the customer. Even after starting the equipment installation, we will run
additional checks if necessary and make improvements after discussing theresults with the customer.

Safety promotion activities
Nearly all accidents occur when unsafe conditions are combined with unsafe
behavior. Therefore, we work to prevent unsafe conditions and behavior before
they arise by having all workers share details about their work and areas toexercise caution, as well as review countermeasures for accidents and possible
mistakes that can occur during operation in advance. Furthermore, we are
improving the safety awareness of the workers by appointing leaders for eachwork group to oversee the entire worksite and having a safety manager visit theworkplace to demonstrate proper caution and how to minimize risk factors thatcan lead to accidents or mistakes.

Safety education

Physical safety training| Glossary |We continue to put our efforts into safety education, because we believe eachindividual’s safety awareness leads to voluntary accident prevention activities. We
utilize web-based educational and awareness campaigns to eliminate workplace
accidents at all TEL Group locations in Japan and overseas. Furthermore,
we have implemented physical safety training in Japan. For instance, we run
simulations of accidents caused by an electrical short due to a current carrying
wire being cut during operation to reduce the risk of similar accidents.

*2 TCIR: Total Case Incident Rate. This is the occurrence rate of workplace accidents (OSHA standard) per 200,000 hours worked.
*3 Accident that could lead to a severe injury: An accident that could result in a severe injury with ongoing effects.
*4 Workplace accident: Following the guidelines of the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the TEL Group defines an accident
involving an injury to an employee as a “workplace accident.”
