With the concept of “Occupational health and safety is the basis of all business activities,” FUJIFILM Holdings gives the highest priority to the health and safety of its employees and is fully compliant with the related laws and regulations. The priority issues and results of each Group company are reported to and discussed by the FUJIFILM Holdings ESG Committee, and then reported to the Board of Directors.
In 2020, FUJIFILM Holdings enacted, at its sites all over the world, new Occupational Health and Safety Regulations that meet the requirements of ISO 45001:2018, an international occupational health and safety standard. The operation of the said regulations help clarify the safety management structure and safety promotion activity goals throughout the group to further reinforce our governance of occupational health and safety.
The Fujifilm Group reduces occupational risks according to the characteristics of each workplace and company. Some examples of such risk reduction activities are given below.
- The occupational safety committee is operated jointly by management and employees and occupational safety meetings are held regularly.
- Occupational safety managers are appointed and checklist-based workplace inspections are undertaken.
- When a new working procedure is introduced or an existing procedure is changed, a risk assessment is carried out to identify risk factors and create risk countermeasures.
- Chemical risk assessments are carried out to identify risk factors in working procedures that involve chemicals.
- Chemical handling training are provided to employees and contract workers who undertake risk assessments and handle chemicals, as well as the standard occupational safety training.
