Health and Safety Activities

Based on the policy "Our corporation cannot exist without safety", we promote activities to maintain and improve employee safety to achieve "zero accidents".

Cultivating Safe Workers

Safety First is our company policy. No matter what it is that we do, at the EXEDY Group we make our judgments with safety being the top priority.
The status of safety-related training in FY2024 is as follows.

Safety education

After disseminating accident reports throughout the Group, each company holds monthly Health and Safety Committee meetings to educate all employees (100% employee attendance rate). In addition, we provide safety training at the time of recruitment and before assignment.

Basic safety education

To enable our employees to carry out their work in the plants in absolute safety, and predict and prevent danger in advance, we offer training consisting of safety lectures and practical education in our safety dojo, a training room equipped with 17 simulators that were made based on accidents that actually occurred.
Once you have taken this course and mastered the basics of safety within our company, you will be issued a "Certificate of Completion of Basic Safety Course". In FY2024 this safety training for employees was held 14 times. In response to requests from outside the company, we have conducted similar training, which has resulted in receiving a very high evaluation.
In addition, when working at height, all employees, whether they are our employees or on-site construction workers, must take certified training in the use of fall prevention equipment and safety ropes at a training dojo for working at height, and only those who pass the training are allowed to work at height, as a rule, to prevent falls.

Basic Life Support Training Course

Since 2012, first-aid instructors have been carrying out basic life support training courses and more than 1,000 employees have participated in the course. We will continue promoting this activity in the future so that EXEDY employees can protect lives, not only at the company but also in daily life.

Risk assessment

In accordance with the guidelines for health and safety risk assessment, we define compliance items and conduct detailed assesments of health.safety and health risks in order to pursue essential safety in machinery and equipment (existing equipment and newly introduced equipment), chemical substances and work in both new and existing businesses. Based on the results, we also are taking action against identified risks.

Accidents resulting in work leave frequency rate

Accidents resulting in work leave frequency rate ＝ Number of deaths and injuries due to occupational accidents ÷ total actual working hours × 1 million hours

Global safety measures

we hold local safety training sessions for affiliated companies both in Japan and overseas with the aim of raising safety awareness throughout the entire Group.
In addition,twice a year we carry out priority activities to prevent accidents at overseas bases,and provide general guidance on safety.

Various Training and Education

The EXEDY Group conducts training and education on a daily basis to prevent accidents and to minimize damage in case of an emergency.
In FY2024,582 staff members received safety training*, and 288 staff members received general training that included safety*.(*Cumulative number of participants)

Company-wide Earthquake Disaster Drills

Every year, we conduct a company-wide earthquake disaster drill, to develop an organization that is able to respond calmly and smoothly in case of an emergency. In the first part, we set up an in-house firefighting department and conducted firefighting and lifesaving activities. In the second part, we set up a disaster countermeasure department to train to collect information and report on the situation, and prepare plans to restart production.

In-house Firefighting Team

We have established a self-defense fire brigade at domestic bases and sales offices. We carry out regular training such as table-top exercises and training with the portable pump. Members of the self-Defense Firefighting Unit regularly attend external training courses on self-training courses on self-defense firefighting operations and are trained to give appropriate instructions and take appropriate action in the event of an emergency.
