Safety Countermeasures (Intangible)

We implement on-the-job training using actual vehicles and locations where occupational accidents have previously occurred
Through initial safety education, as well as education based on yearly plans, we aim to prevent accidents before they occur
Online safety and health education
By offering smartphone-based safety and health education, in addition to working to improve employees' level of knowledge, we are also enabling supervisors to verify the effectiveness of employees' education
Safety Countermeasures (Tangible)
Safety Activities through Enhanced Visibility
To ensure effective safety activities, we are making potentially dangerous and harmful areas within our worksites more visible to employees
Standardization of Road Markings at Our Sales Offices
We have standardized the road markings at each of our sales offices and separated routes for pedestrians and trucks to prevent on-site traffic accidents.
Health Countermeasures (We are working with the Health Insurance Association to maintain and promote health)
SG Specific Health Guidance
Aiming to prevent lifestyles diseases, we offer health guidance to employees with metabolic syndrome.
Health guidance courtesy of public health nurses to prevent progression of diseases
We are working to prevent risks related to health disorders by having public health nurses offer health guidance to employees in line with their health conditions.
Promotion of cancer prevention
By subsidizing costs related to cancer screenings and medical checks, we are reducing the burden on employees and in turn promoting cancer prevention.
Scope: Breast cancer, colon cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer
Assessment
At Sagawa Express, our Health and Safety Committee assesses the results of our safety and health countermeasures and preventative measures for occupational accidents. The Health and Safety Committee also reports on the results of employee medical checks, as well as the results of interviews and guidance related to long working hours, and promotes the improvement of safe and secure workplace environments.
The details of these deliberations are recorded in Health and Safety Committee meeting minutes and communicated to all company employees.
