SafetySafety education
Implementation of safety education
At workplaces where hazardous materials are handled, we provide cautions and guidance through daily communication and regular meetings to prevent accidents. We also conduct education, always refining our teaching materials and methods. We further conduct safety training for all employees.
Study sessions
The Daiseki Group holds study sessions on specific themes and at specific times throughout the year, for all employees.
At workplaces where hazardous materials are handled, the study sessions feature more practical content.
The Daiseki Group holds monthly compliance study sessions for all employees, with a set theme each month. Sessions in 2023 were held on the themes of “Accidents that occurred in the last fiscal year” and “Hazards of waste materials,” aimed at ensuring compliance with company rules and informing employees about how to handle dangerous and hazardous substances.

Implementation of safety education
Side-ride instruction for a vehicle crew (Daiseki Kyushu Works)
To prevent accidents, the Daiseki Group gives daily instructions and alerts at monthly safety meetings at worksites that handle hazardous materials. In addition, safety education is provided to all employees. For example, danger prediction training is conducted to enhance employees' ability to notice hazards anticipated at worksites. We also provide side-ride instruction to vehicle crews accompanied by an instructor, who checks and evaluates the state of vehicle driving and operations. Employees who received safety education gave feedback, saying that they understood the awfulness of accidents and points to focus on to prevent accidents.
Safety training video

For drivers, to have knowledge of waste acid or waste alkali, etc. and vehicles is necessary to properly handle industrial wastes. Daiseki started safety training utilizing videos. For example, we made a training video demonstrating a condition of vacuum vehicle when it sucks bubbling liquids and when a deformer suppresses bubbles in lab scale. We show this to drivers for their trainings.
Risk assessment workshop

Risk assessment is required under the Industrial Safety and Health Act. Risk assessment requires not only compliance with minimum standards for the prevention of harm as specified by law, but also voluntary health and safety management by operators. Daiseki conducts workshops on risk assessment procedures with the aim of preventing accidents.

Emergency treatment workshop

In case employees get injured, Daiseki sends the Safety Management Department staff well versed in emergency treatment to each business site to hold the emergency treatment workshop. For example, participants practically learn methods of stopping bleeding with a sling, using a stretcher, using an AED, and so on while using tools. This way we implement measures to minimize damage in case of accidents.
