handle hazardous materials implement the following
initiatives.

reports from employees on things they feel could pose a
danger, and contributes to improvements. Furthermore,managers regularl y conduct risk assessments toquantitatively evaluate the frequency and severity of workrelated hazards and take risk mitigation measures.

company is shared internally at that company and used for
guidance to prevent the same type of accident fromoccurring in the future. Information on accidents of particularconcern is also shared with other Group companies.

Safety trainings for partner companies
Daiseki focuses not only on safety training for Daisekiemployees, but also on safety training to prevent
accidents at partner companies. Since about half of thecrews that go to customer plants to collect waste arecrews from partner companies, we recognize that
accident prevention for partner companies is a key
topic. At Daiseki’s Kansai Works, partner company
crews are instructed on examples of accidents thatoccurred at other companies and countermeasures, aswell as how to handle equipment, response measuresin emergencies, and other topics.
