Hands-on LOTO Training with the Actual Kit

Implementing Safety Education

The risk of handling electricity or moving machinery, suchas the drives of robots in semiconductor and FPD production
equipment, is increasing as the sizes of the wafers and glass substrate are becoming larger. To protect ourselves from this risk, TEL
has adopted and provided training in the Lockout*1-tagout*2 (LOTO)
method which is common in the US.
We are providing hands-on training, such as on locking andtagging circuit breakers, to workers in charge of each operation
using custom-made actual
equipment so that they
can familiarize themselveswith LOTO procedures. We
also introduce a few true
examples of events todemonstrate the importance of executing LOTO.

In order to promote “safety first” at TEL, we are conducting safety
education specific to the nature of jobs, for personnel who work in
the office, in clean rooms and at customer sites. The validity of thissafety training is given an expiration date and the personnel are
required to take a renewal course within a certain time period. The
renewal of the basic safety training and the advanced safety training areconducted through the online
learning on our intranet and canbe done at any time. The curriculum is unified throughout TEL
and is being implemented overseas as well, particularly being
extended in Asia.
