Workforce health and safety management

Safety and Health Declaration

The Basic Safety and Health Policy articulates Chubu Electric Power’s policy to create a better environment so that our work colleagues, including our subcontractors, can devote themselves to their work in a safe and healthy way and work actively. Under the Basic Policy, we have formulated the Safety and Health Principles of Action as a specific code of conduct for executives and employees to foster a corporate culture and workplace atmosphere, which value people.

Structure to promote safety and health activities

In order to foster a culture of safety and promote health management, we hold a meeting of the Safety & Health Promotion Committee on a periodic basis. As key goal indicators (KGIs) shared among the three Chubu Electric Power companies, we have selected “zero fatal industrial accidents“ and “improvement of absenteeism and presenteeism” and set a quantitative target for each to monitor the status of achievement and progress in implementing related measures at each company. The Safety and Health Committee of each business company also formulates targets and action plans and implements a plan-docheck-act (PDCA) cycle.

Providing safety and health training

Senior management, as leaders for fostering a culture of safety and promoting health management, have been receiving safety and health training by outside specialists. In FY2022, 16 executives participated in the program that spanned over the period of six months and undertook safety and health initiatives while setting targets by themselves.

For heads of the departments who are the key persons for safety and health activities in each workplace, we provide workshop-style training designed to raise awareness, encourage behavior change and instill the Safety and Health Principles of Action in the workplace. In FY2022, 790 department heads attended the training. Additionally, we are enhancing rank-based safety and health training for employees holding managerial positions, new employees and others.

Support for safety activities

Safety specialists who have received specialized training visit each workplace of the three Chubu Electric Power companies, systematically monitor the status of their safety activities and safety management through document checks, on-site inspections and interviews and feed back to each workplace its strengths and shortcomings that need to be improved. Each workplace voluntarily works to make sustained improvementsbased on these data. Matters that require company-wide response are communicated to the relevant departments of each company for improvement.

Preventing recurrence of industrial accidents

Upon the occurrence of an industrial accident, safety specialists will check the accident site, question the relevant departments and provide support for everything from the investigation of the root cause to formulation of countermeasures. In this way, we are working to prevent the recurrence of the same or similar accidents.

Safety contests

Chubu Electric Power holds company-wide safety contests with the participation of the Company’s management, employees and managers of our subcontractors. Through the contests, Chubu Electric Power shares with the subcontractors, who are our business partners, the strong commitment of “safety takes priority over all else” and makes efforts to proactively practice safety activities.
