Core concept
In order to create comfortable workplace environments, the UNISOL Group strives to enhance its health and safety-related activities, prevent the occurrence of occupational accidents, and maintain and improve employee health and safety.
Health and safety management structure
As required by law, the UNISOL Group has established a Health and Safety Committee. This Committee comprises safety managers, health managers, safety and health advocates, and health advocates. Through monthly health and safety meetings, safety patrols of manufacturing sites using safety checklists, and other activities, the Committee strives to prevent occupational accidents among our employees and to maintain and improve employee health.
Occupational health management system
Risk assessments
The UNISOL Group has identified risks associated with each of our areas of operations and implemented countermeasures for these risks.
In our manufacturing operations, we have identified as risks the potential dangers and hazards that could arise in the workplace, such as the possibility of being caught in or between pieces of major equipment. We have preemptively established countermeasures to prevent disasters related to machinery, equipment, operations performed, the work environment, and other factors. For example, in our Construction Products Business we have drafted an annual safety plan, including regular self-inspections and work environment measurement, based on the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems. We continue to make improvements to our management system on an ongoing basis. We also engage in safety-related activities using the “near misses” concept, taking reports of near misses from employees and using these to identify key focus areas, establish remedial measures in response, and work to prevent any reoccurrences.
In our sales operations, meanwhile, we consider major traffic accidents to be a risk. We maintain our equipment and systems, analyze the details of past traffic accidents, ensure provision of safe driving courses and personal guidance (primarily aimed at our junior sales staff, who present a comparatively higher risk of involvement in traffic accidents), promote awareness of traffic safety, and more, always maintaining respect for human life as the top priority in our efforts. In addition, we ensure prevention of any and all driving under the influence by having our drivers undergo alcohol testing before and after driving, and have also installed dashboard cameras in our vehicles to monitor driving.
Employee training
We provide our employees with a variety of educational programs on occupational safety and health.
Safe driving
As a company that makes use of a large fleet of vehicles for sales, logistics, distribution, and other processes within our value chain, we consider ensuring that our employees drive safely to be an important mission and responsibility. We hold driving safety courses periodically, aiming to raise our drivers’ awareness of safe driving. In the first half of FY2025, we conducted a course that was attended by a total of 183 employees, including 149 mandatory participants (junior employees up to their fifth year with the Company and mid-career hires aged 27 or younger). In the second half of the fiscal year, we expanded the scope to all employees who drive vehicles for work, with a total of 777 employees participating across the entire Group. We also share information about Traffic Safety Campaigns to raise awareness, striving to ensure ongoing accident prevention.
Safety training
In our manufacturing operations, accidents related to the operation of machinery and equipment present a significant risk. To prevent any such accident from occurring, we ensure the provision of continuous and thorough safety education for our employees.
Within our Construction Products Business, our fundamental approach is to create a safe and comfortable work environment by promoting “2S” (Sort and Set in Order), and we focus on practical education to increase sensitivity to danger. As a recent initiative, in May 2025, one representative from each of our nine factories participated in a voluntary safety training session aimed at raising safety awareness. During the training, participants discussed facilities safety using matrix analysis and held discussions on past examples of occupational accidents and their countermeasures. In December of the same year, 14 employees, primarily junior members, visited the factory of a manufacturer that has maintained an accident-free record for approximately 35 years, allowing them to experience firsthand the creation of a safe workplace through thorough 2S practices. Furthermore, in May 2026, one representative from each of our nine factories took part in hands-on safety training delivered by an external organization, striving to further enhance their sensitivity to danger. In addition, we continue to hold monthly meetings for factory managers and safety advocates to share examples of safety awareness initiatives at each factory, thereby strengthening our foundation toward achieving zero occupational accidents.
Management of Hazardous Chemical Substances
Chemicals are used in welding and painting processes at our plants. For both processes, we appoint qualified supervisors as prescribed in the Industrial Safety and Health Act to implement worker safety measures by checking legally required safety data sheets, conducting environmental measurements, ensuring the use of protective equipment, installing ventilation equipment, providing health checkups, and submitting reports to the Labour Standards Bureau.
