Safe and Healthy Work Environment

Employee Health and Safety

1. Health and Safety Policy: Takeuchi aims to be an accident-free workplace by encouraging all employees to concentrate on Health & Safety, striving to create a safe, healthy and comfortable working environment and promoting employee health through mutual communication.
2. Principles of Conduct
   1. We will always think and act "Safety First".
   2. We will always comply with relevant laws, regulations and internal rules.
   3. In addition to routine health and safety activities we will look out for potential harms and hazards, and constantly improve health and safety in the workplace through risk assessments.
   4. As individuals, we will maintain our own mental and physical health and help each other to create a lively working environment.
   5. All of our employees will have opportunities to study and learn so they can work with the same awareness and knowledge.
3. Health and safety system: Our health and safety management system includes a general safety and health manager, safety officers, health officers, health and safety committee members, health and safety promoters, and an industrial physician. As well, we regularly conduct random safety audits and hold health and safety committee meetings at least once a month.
4. Risk assessment: We conduct risk assessments of chemical substances and work practices in accordance with our health and safety policy. We strive to reduce risk by identifying dangerous or hazardous work based on the degree of the risk (priority), as well as everyday potentially dangerous minor incidents and the results of risk estimates, and we then take appropriate corrective or preventative action. 

Health and Productivity Management

1. Takeuchi Health and Productivity Management Declaration: We recognize "respect for the individual" and "creating a safe workplace," specified in our Action Guideline, as the basic principles of health and productivity management. This recognition is in keeping with our goal of establishing a workplace environment where every employee can enthusiastically play an active role. To carry out initiatives to achieve this goal, we have formulated the Takeuchi Health and Productivity Management Declaration.

1. We will work to maintain and improve the health of our employees and their families, believing that the physical and mental health of our employees comes first in order to succeed as a company, and in recognition that human resources are our greatest management resource.
2. We will achieve a better work-life balance by raising health awareness and improving labor productivity through cooperation inside the company, and with industrial physicians, the health insurance association, employees, and their families.
3. Aiming to eliminate occupational accidents, we will create a safe and comfortable workplace through safety and health initiatives based on effective environmental, work, and health management.
