Nitto Denko Group CSR & Annual Report 2011

17/40

CSR & Annual Report 201117Every year we produce a number of future leaders.(1) Occurrence of AccidentsThe Nitto Denko Group has continued to implement safety activities in order to achieve our Group’s goal of “Zero Critical/Fatal or Serious Industrial Accidents”. For a long period of time the occurrence of such accidents declined. However, in fiscal 2010 the number of critical/fatal and serious accidents increased on the previous year. There were certain deficiencies in the safety procedures at some bases, especially in their preventive measures. In order to solve these problems, we are building workplaces in a unified manner across the whole Group, where employees can work in safety in line with constantly developing preventive measures and safety education.(2) Preventing Accidents Involving Chemical SubstancesIn fiscal 2009, an accident occurred at one of our group companies in China and an employee died after inhaling a chemical substance. To prevent such an accident from occurring again, we have established a method of “Chemical Risk Assessment” in which we assess the hazardous nature of chemical substances. In the future, we will introduce this method to every workplace of the Nitto Denko Group to further enhance safety.nCertificationIn May, 2010, Shanghai Nitto Optical Co., Ltd. obtained OHSAS18001:2007.Personnel Matters and the Cultivation of Human ResourcesThe cultivation of employees playing globally-active rolesIt is human resources that drive business growth and quality improvement.
