In fiscal 2018, our initiatives included safety patrols undertaken by staff from the logistics departments of Denka’s Omi and Omuta plants. We also organized facility tours of other chemical manufacturer’s production sites to gain new input from external perspectives. Furthermore, we invited our transportation subcontractors to take part in periodic drills in which they practice emergency responses to logistics accidents by employing the information on “yellow cards” as well as training sessions aimed at preventing oil leaks. This both raised their safety awareness and provided an opportunity to exchange opinions on logistics safety.
In fiscal 2019, we will continue to implement safety patrols in addition to reviewing our logistics operations to prevent logistics accidents and enhance our ability to take proper action at the occurrence of such accidents.
