Based on the beliefs that safety and compliance are the cornerstones for all work and that safety management is a matter of human resources development, Toyota Tsusho conducts safety and health education not just for Toyota Tsusho Group employees but, upon request, also for the employees of suppliers.
We conduct rank-based safety and health training for new employees, mid-level employees, managers, and executives and are expanding the scope of education by conducting training for persons involved in operations at suppliers.
To heighten employee sensitivity to danger by having them experience hazardous work, in 2009 we established a Practical Safety Workshop at Toyota Steel Center Co., Ltd. The workshop offers simulations of 62 different types of hazards, including being squeezed between objects and dangers involving heavy items. Educational materials on predicting six types of hazards have also been prepared. Workshop attendance is also open to the personnel of suppliers who take part in Toyota Tsusho’s Safety and Health Cooperation Council. The workshop serves to raise awareness regarding safety and health. Despite the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, a total of 299 persons participated in these workshops in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, and the cumulative number of participants since their establishment reached 9,983 persons.
Taking into consideration that since Toyota Tsusho is a trading company and much of its work takes place in offices, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, we began conducting Office Safety Workshops and taking measures to raise awareness of safety regarding office work. More than 750 participants from the Toyota Tsusho Group have attended these workshops to date.
