Moving Ahead with Measures to Eliminate Workplace Accidents and Promote Employee Health
To achieve a safe and secure production system that increases workplace strength, ZEON puts considerable effort into “5Ss” (organization (Seiri), orderliness (Seiton), standardized cleanup (Seiso), cleanliness (Seiketsu) and discipline (Shitsuke)) safety audits, risk assessments and identification of near-miss incidents, as well as the provision of hands-on training.

*Frequency of lost-time accidents
An indicator of the frequency of workplace accidents, calculated using the following formula.
Frequency of lost-time accidents = number of workers who experienced a lost-time accident / total actual working time × 1,000,000 hours.
Risk Assessment (Kiken Yochi)
To prevent workplace accidents and manage the risk of human error, ZEON has adopted the 4RKY (four-round risk assessment) practice, whereby employees check for any unsafe situations before starting a task to avoid placing themselves in danger. In fiscal 2010, we continued to engage in this activity, centering around KY trainers deployed at each workplace.
