Workplace Safety and Hygiene

The effort for workplace safety begins with the Asahi Safety Training curriculum and includes initiatives for reporting of near-accidents and potential hazards, studying cases of workplace injury, safety patrols, and safety symposiums. The result of this effort has been a steadily declining trend in our frequency rate for lost-workday injuries, which is now about one sixth what it was in 1975.

The maintenance of employees’ emotional health and care is advanced in tandem with our physical health and fitness programs. The corporate Emotional Health Guideline provides for measures to improve the workplace environment together with four complementary approaches to care: By the individual employee, by line of authority, by industrial medical staff, and by specialists. The four approaches to care are summarized below.
