Promoting Occupational Health and Safety
Basic concept
As a company with a large amount of field work, we recognize the risk of serious workplace accidents. Safety is a top-priority topic, and the Company has established promotion of occupational safety and health as a material issue. We continuously promote occupational safety and health initiatives that enable employees of our group companies and business partners to work with peace of mind.
Creation of safe workplaces
In order to ensure the safety and health of its employees and to promote the creation of a comfortable work environment, Organo has established a structure for safety and health management under the direct control of the president and defined the role of each member pursuant to company regulations on safety and health management. Under this management structure, the Company is committed to properly maintaining safe workplace environments, preventing occupational accidents, taking appropriate emergency measures, and conducting relevant education and training.
For plant installation work and handling of chemicals, Organo prepares documented instructions, performs safety checks using checklists, and conducts scheduled safety patrols at construction sites and factories. When safety concerns are apparent during safety patrols, corrective action is immediately directed, and we ensure that safety education is properly conducted. Organo further strengthens safety management practices by providing guidance on voluntary safety activities to prevent accidents including hazard prediction and risk assessments prior to performing tasks. In addition, the Company posts safety newsletters on occupational health and safety on the intranet to disseminate reports on the occurrence of disasters and remedial measures. And to heighten health and safety awareness and stimulate such activities, we present labor safety awards to business partners and internal business offices to convey the message that safety is our highest priority, and underscores our commitment to creating safe workplaces.
Efforts to prevent workplace accidents
Under our Occupational Health and Safety Management Policy, we place the highest priority on ensuring the safety and health of our employees in all our business activities, and we continue to promote the creation of comfortable workplace environments. Although we have been implementing measures to prevent workplace accidents based on the company president's message of "safety takes precedence over deadlines, costs, and profits," we were unable to completely eliminate workplace accidents and therefore must continue engaging in related initiatives. Causes of previous accidents include non-routine work, falls, chemical burns, failure to check situations, and carelessness. We will continue to implement planned employee training and drills, foster a culture of safety, and raise the safety level of the entire group, with the aim of completely eliminating serious lost-time injuries.

Initiatives related to employee health
The Group considers the health of its employees as one of the most valuable management resources in achieving sustainable growth.
We provide lifestyle review counseling based on regular health checkups and offer annual stress level checkups for all employees as mental health measures. Organo employees have access to counseling provided by industrial physicians and public health nurses through the Company’s in-house consultation center for when they have concerns about themselves, their colleagues, or their subordinates.
Relation with labor union
The Company enters into collective bargaining agreements with Organo’s labor union and maintains harmonious labor-management relations. Through regularly scheduled labor-management meetings with the participation of top management, Organo strives to disseminate its management policies to its employees and ensure that opinions of union members are reflected in the Company’s management strategies and policies. At labor-management meetings, the labor union has raised requests related to occupational safety, such as the introduction of air-conditioned workwear for on-site work during extreme heat, and the Company addresses these requests sincerely.
