FY2021 Safety & Health Management Policy
Preventing industrial injuries and traffic disaster is the starting point of
everything about customer satisfaction which is an essential part of our corporate
philosophy.
The goal of the Industrial Safety and Health Act is ensuring workers’ safety
and health in the workplace and encouraging the development of comfortableworkplace environments through comprehensive and systematic measures forpreventing industrial injuries such as the establishment of hazard prevention
standards, the clarification of responsibilities and the encouragement of voluntary
activities.
At West Holdings Corporation and its offices, industrial physicians, healthsupervisors, fire-prevention supervisors, safety supervisors, operation safety
supervisors, on-site engineers, operators and all other people cooperate with one
another to comply related laws in the management of operating environments,
work safety and workers’ health.
However, injuries such as the one that occurred during the operation of heavymachinery operation in Tsuyama, Okayama and falls from roofs may cause asignificant disaster. Traffic accidents are decreasing in number. Once a trafficaccident occurs and results in personal injury, however, both the victim and theperson at fault suffer a huge loss.
Due to concerns about COVID-19, our site and office workers take measures
to prevent infection and the company must continue with its “state of emergency”
in terms of safety, health and transportation safety.
To improve the situation, our policy, goals and priorities for safety and healthmanagement are clearly set forth as follows and all employees share the goals
with the aim of eliminating industrial injuries and traffic accidents.
Additionally, we have established the Safety and Health Committee and theSafety Cooperation Business Association to ensure the achievement of the safety
and health goals and facilitate the elimination of workplace accidents. The
operations are separately defined for each office.
