Priority Measure
Aiming to Raise the Level With the Lateral Function of Personnel and District Councils
In order to prevent serious occupational accidents, it is most important to keep nipping minor accidents in the bud. At the DOWA Group we are currently promoting various initiatives throughout the whole company to prevent accidents.
Occurrence of Occupational Accidents
When looked at in the long term, the number of accidents at the DOWA Group as a whole is on a downward trend. Compared with the figures for business establishments of the same scale in the accident statistics of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the accident frequency rate is 1.08 versus 1.15, but with regards to the severity rate that shows the degree of the accident, it continues to show a high value from last year. This is due to the occurrence of serious occupational accidents. In order to eliminate these, we share the situation through the whole company, and as management sends emergency safety notices to all the relevant places, we begin efforts towards intrinsic safety.
*Comparing the final FY 2015 accident statistics for 100 to 299 employees (the average number of employees at each DOWA business establishment).

DOWA’s Safety Activities
The “DOWA safety activities” that began in 2012 have been fully implemented as a company-wide initiative since 2014. It has had a certain effect with the current annual number of accidents decreasing by about half. The DOWA safety activities are something that everyone participates in from the top down to the bottom up, and we are pursuing various initiatives to make the 10 themes of the activities more effective. Among these, we are aiming to improve leadership and raise the level through sharing ideas and examples of activities by establishing places and mechanisms for exchange between the relevant personnel. This includes the “Safety Campaign District Council” where activity members of each district interact, and the “Safe Environment Personnel Council” where the safe environment personnel for the operating companies interact.
With regards to incidences of accidents within the group, based on thorough introspection and analysis of the accidents, we take multifaceted countermeasures involving people, facilities and management, and share them with the whole company. When a severe occupational accident occurs, we laterally implement measures to prevent it from happening again not only with the operating companies, but also including safety inspections by the environment and safety department of DOWA Holdings.
