Occupational safety At the Shin-Etsu Chemical Group's domestic and overseas factories, we thoroughly identify risks that may lead to injury or illness, and are engaged in risk assessment activities to eliminate and reduce risks. If it turns out that there is an acceptable risk in the workplace, provide personal protective equipment to workers, post safety signs in dangerous areas, lock out machines and equipment * 1 , tag out * 2, etc. We are taking measures. Safety measures such as installation of safety devices, fail-safe * 3 , foolproof * 4 , interlock * 5 , and protective walls are taken for mechanical devices . In addition, we practice KY * 6 and pointing and calling before work to reconfirm safety. In addition, we collect the unpleasant and unpleasant cases and concerns that the workers have experienced as "hiyari hats / concerns proposals" and take countermeasures. At the same time, by disclosing such information inside and outside the company, we are working to share information and prevent similar disasters.

It means prohibiting the restart of machines and devices until the tag is removed. * 3 Fail-safe Control the device or system so that it always operates in a safe direction when a failure occurs due to a malfunction or malfunction. * 4 Foolproof Take measures in advance to ensure safety even if an operator makes an incorrect operation. * 5 Interlock A mechanism that is one of the concepts of safety devices and safety mechanisms, in which other operations cannot be performed unless certain conditions are met. * 6 KY danger prediction activity. An activity in which a worker engaged in a work confirms a safe work method, etc., and surely executes it in order to prevent the occurrence of an injury or illness expected in the work. Security and disaster prevention The Group places the highest priority on preventing serious accidents and continues to engage in various safety and disaster prevention activities. We carry out maintenance management of aging pipes and equipment by implementing countermeasures for dangerous parts identified by process risk assessment and systematically repairing equipment. Since fiscal 2013, we have been strengthening safety management by assessing risks in anticipation of abnormal plant situations and implementing effective safety measures. We have been participating in the Security Improvement Center of the Safety Engineering Society, a specified non-profit organization, since its inception in 2012. At each factory, we are working to improve our safety and disaster prevention capabilities by utilizing the center's "security assessment system." Education, training In order to keep the plant operating safely and stably, it is important to constantly improve the skills and knowledge of each employee and to increase their sensitivity to safety. To this end, in addition to education on understanding the dangers of substances and processes handled and safety education such as simulated experience of danger, we systematically conduct disaster prevention drills assuming abnormal situations such as large earthquakes and fires. We are also focusing on handing down the operating technology of manufacturing equipment. We are also working to foster a culture that emphasizes safety by creating a workplace that adheres to work procedures and rules. Complex comprehensive disaster prevention drill (October 2017, Shin-Etsu Chemical Oshima) Disaster drill for employee dormitories (October 2017, Shin-Etsu Semiconductor Ogawa) Environmental security audit The Group conducts internal audits to verify and confirm that activities such as environmental protection, occupational safety and health, and safety and disaster prevention at each factory are being carried out as planned. The results of the audit are also reported to top management. In fiscal 2013, we notified the company about the review of safety measures for non-routine work, referring to the cases of other companies. Continuing from 2016, the implementation status was set as a special audit theme in 2017 as well. Environmental security audits of overseas group companies (Shin-Etsu Silicones of America, January 2018) Consideration for health We are working to prevent illness by receiving regular health checkups, providing health guidance on lifestyle-related diseases, mental health measures, and promoting health and physical fitness activities. We also prevent and raise awareness of infectious diseases such as the new strain of influenza. 本社および支店では衛生委員会を、各工場地区では安全衛生委員会を設置しています。委員会では産業医から情報提供と指導を受けながら、職場環境の改善や健康の促進などに取り組んでいます。また、体力測定やセミナー、体力向上のためのイベントを開催しています。 さらに、健康保険組合が保険会社と提携し、24時間対応のファミリー健康相談窓口を設置しています。従業員の家族も、この窓口を利用することができます。 健康づくり講習会 （2017年10⽉ 信濃電気製錬 柏原） 従業員寮でのノロウイルス対策講習会 （2018年1⽉ 信越化学 群⾺） 課題と実績 当社グループは毎年度、レスポンシブル・ケアコード＊に従って環境保安管理計画を作成しています。この管理計画に基づいて、グループ全体で爆発や火災などの重大災害防止や労働災害の防止などの課題に取り組んでいます。 ＊ レスポンシブル・ケアコード レスポンシブル・ケアを実施する際の基本的な実施事項を定めたもの。環境保全、保安防災、労働安全衛生、物流安全、化学品・製品安全、社会との対話といった活動分野ごとの６つのコードと、これらをシステムとして共通に運用していくためのマネジメントシステムコードの計７つで構成されている。 重点課題1に関する課題、実施状況、評価、実施予定項目 事故、休業災害の報告 2017年度も重大事故はありませんでしたが、国内グループ全社で3件の休業災害がありました。それぞれの要因の解析を行い、取り扱い物質の危険性の見直しや危険な作業の排除、設備的な安全防護を基本とした対策を実施しました。 さらに、作業マニュアルの改訂も進め再発防止に取り組んでいます。 今後も、これらの決定事項の遵守を徹底し、労働災害の防止に努めていきます。 休業災害人数と度数率の推移（国内グループ） 「45年無災害特別賞」を受賞 信越化学 直江津⼯場第⼀製造部の従業員 2017年7月に、か性ソーダや次亜塩素酸ソーダなどを製造している信越化学　直江津工場第一製造部は、日本ソーダ工業会から「45年無災害特別賞」を受賞しました。この賞は、日本ソーダ工業会の安全表彰規程に基づいて、優秀な安全成績を収めた事業所に授与されます。同製造部は長年にわたる安全活動と実績が評価され、表彰されました。 ESGデータ集 CSRの重要課題一覧 全ての活動の礎： 法令遵守、公正な企業活動 重要課題１： 働く人の安全の確保と健康の促進 重要課題２： 省エネルギー、省資源、環境負荷の低減 重要課題３： 製品の品質の向上、製品の安全性管理 重要課題４： CSR調達の推進、原料調達の多様化 重要課題５： 人間尊重、人材育成、多様性の推進 重要課題６： 知的財産の尊重と保護 重要課題７： 社会貢献活動 重要課題８： 適時、的確な情報開示、ステークホルダーとの対話 ごあいさつ マネジメント - 信越化学グループ企業理念／ CSRの基本方針 - CSR推進体制 - コーポレートガバナンス - リスク管理 このサイトについて ESGデータ集 第三者検証意見書 マークのあるリンクは、PDFファイルへのリンクです。 PDFファイルをご覧になるには、ADOBE READER®（無料）がご使用のコンピューターにインストールされている必要があります。下のボタンをクリックしてソフトウェアをダウンロードし、インストールしてください。 ホームページ利用に関するご注意 個人情報保護ポリシー Copyright © 2001-2021 Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.
