Workplace Safety and Health
Basic stance on workplace safety
Acknowledging that safety takes priority over all business activities, as stated in its Fundamental Policy for Safety and Health, Hino is promoting initiatives to prevent workplace accidents. We are working hard to reduce the risk of occupational accidents, not only by building work environments that help employees to work safely, but also by fostering safety awareness among employees.
Workplace safety promotion system
The Hino Safety, Health and Disaster Management Committee has been established to deliberate and decide upon important issues related to occupational safety, including company-wide policies. At each business site, there is also an occupational safety and health committee, which promotes safe workplaces as part of daily operations.
The status of the safety activities of each committee is principally monitored and checked by a company-wide comprehensive safety and health supervisor, which allows plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycles to be applied for continual improvement.
Initiatives related to health management®*
Under our Health Declaration as well as our Basic Policy on Health Management, we seek to improve corporate value by creating an environment in which all employees can enjoy working with a sound body and mind, Hino is promoting a variety of initiatives for health management.

Promotion system on health management
We are building systems for health management that are led by the President & CEO who chairs the Hino Safety, Health and Disaster Management Committee. With the Safety Health & Environment Division acting as the secretariat, we are proposing and enacting a variety of measures centering on the Operating Officer of the Safety Health & Environment Division, in collaboration with plant managers at each business site, occupational health professionals, and health insurance associations.
