TOPICSSafety Activities Using IT:
Digitization of the Operation Procedure Manual

The operation procedure manual is a document that shows the method for performing each operation in a process safely, reliably and efficiently. The operation procedure manual is properly followed as the basis for safety.
At Act-B Recycling Co., Ltd., which does recycling of home electric appliances in Kumamoto Prefecture, in order to improve work efficiency and the level of safety activities, we digitized the operation procedure manual so that the necessary information can be called up on monitors and tablets that each line has been equipped with. This made the system easy to use from the viewpoint of managing updates and the ability to search.
In addition, it became possible to input information on unsafe incidents into the digitized operation procedure manual (incidents that are not serious accidents, but are examples that are one step short of becoming serious, and it would not be unusual if they directly led to serious accidents). Together with making it possible for employees to share safety information in real time, it aims to be a mechanism to speed up the sharing of information by automatically summarizing and listing the unsafe incidents that have been submitted, and reporting them via email to the managers in turn.
In future, we would like to be able to record the actions of managers, advance the unification and visualization of information and ensure that the operation procedure manual is correctly understood and implemented step by step.
