To create a safe and comfortable work environment

"All accidents can be prevented" is the company-wide safety and health philosophy in JTEKT, and all employees are united in their efforts to participate in safety and health activities and create a comfortable work environment.
In addition, a dedicated Global message, ʺAll for One in Life,ʺ is expressed as the company safety philosophy.
ALL JTEKT aims to achieve zero accidents through activities focusing on one's life and health, taking into account the laws and regulations of each region and the industry's issues.

Safety and Health Promotion Structure

In order to create a healthy, safe, secure, and comfortable work environment for all employees, we have established a company-wide Safety and Health Committee chaired by the President and consisting of members of the Safety and Health Affairs Secretariat of each plant and office, including management, to establish a centralized management system for safety and health, including domestic and overseas group companies, and to develop safety and health activities under the One JTEKT concept.
The company-wide Safety and Health Committee is held twice a year, at the middle and end of the fiscal year, to share policies on safety, health, and fire prevention and to confirm those progresses based on the review of safety scores and employees' opinions, and the results are shared with all employees. As an organization that complements the activities of the company-wide Safety and Health Committee, the company-wide Safety and Health Promotion Meeting is held every month. In addition to messages from top management on safety and the progress of annual policies, we share accident reports as well as the recurrence preventions in a timely manner. In each plant and office, a Safety and Health Committee chaired by the plant manager is established based on the Safety and Health Activity Guidelines. In addition to the implementation and confirmation of safety and health activities and discussions between labor and management regarding employee issues, the committee also reports on safety and health activities suited to the characteristics of each plant and office and the results of safety and health patrols involving everyone from plant managers to associates, to identify issue areas and discuss Kaizen plans.
In the event of an accident, we will inform management as quickly as possible and do our utmost to prevent the recurrence of the accident and prevent it from happening again by assisting in the rescue of victims and helping them return to work.

Certification Status of Global Management System

In Japan, one of JTEKT's plants has acquired JISHA Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS) certification, and the remaining plants have established and are operating their own occupational safety and health management systems based on OSHMS standards. In the JTEKT Group in Japan and overseas, three domestic companies have obtained external certification for JISHA OSHMS, and 29 overseas plants have obtained external certification for ISO 45001.

Global Initiatives

In collaboration with the person in charge of safety at each company, we provide support through cross-sectional activities in safety & health and fire prevention by holding periodic meetings, and so on.
Particularly in regions where there are many overseas bases, such as Europe, North America, China, and ASEAN countries, we have regional headquarters in each region to provide enhanced support.
As our main initiative, we are working on standardization of work and preparation of procedure manuals to prevent accidents in the first place, and on fire prevention, we are preparing management forms and conducting self-inspections.
In the event of an accident or a fire, a debriefing meeting is held with JTEKT, and the details of the accident are shared globally.
