Occupational Health and Safety

Safety and Health Policy

Japan Display Inc. will, in all of its business activities, operate to ensure a safe and pleasant workplace environment through prioritizing health and safety with the goal of realizing a safer and more comfortable society for all.

We will maintain a high standard of occupational health and safety in recognition that doing so is one part of corporate social responsibility (CSR).

We will embed the practice of promoting and protecting occupational health and safety into our corporate culture and strive to minimize the risk of using hazardous chemicals, high-pressure gases, and other hazardous materials and eliminate all workplace accidents and work-related injuries and ailments with the goal of becoming a more sustainable business.

We will promote the continual improvement of corporate compliance as part of our company-wide health and safety activities.

Based on the belief that adhering to relevant health and safety laws and regulations and JDI mandated rules and standards will ensure the safety of all of our employees, we will run PDCA cycles to further improve our ISO45001 compliant occupational health and safety management system.

We will promote initiatives with the goal of eliminating occupational accidents and diseases to maintain a high standard of employee physical and mental health.

We will assess where in our operations lie hazards likely to cause occupational accidents or diseases and will ensure that preventative measures are incorporated into the relevant operational procedures. We will work to achieve our goals by creating an open environment for our employees to freely share information that is then evaluated fairly and used to make improvements.

We will provide leadership in the establishment, operation, and improvement of occupational health and safety management systems (in compliance with the ISO45001), and will allocate and support management resources, including the necessary personnel, materials, and financial resources.

In addition to establishing a back-up system necessary for promoting occupational safety and health for managerial supervisors, JDI has established an Industrial Safety and Health Committee and a Promotion Committee to promote occupational safety and health measures in consultation with the union and employee representatives. In order to ensure that these committees can fulfill their original roles and functions, JDI will provide necessary support to all employees and cooperating companies.

Safety and Health Activities 2021

< 2021 Occupational Accident and Health Results >

In 2021, JDI encountered seven occupational accidents at sites in Japan, including contractor accidents. On the sites where an occupational accident happened, JDI immediately sought out the cause and took action, while at the same time striving to share information across the entire Group to prevent any recurrence.

< No More Occupational Accidents Month >

JDI launched the Zero Occupational Accidents Month as a unique effort coinciding with the National Safety Week held throughout Japan every July. This initiative reflects on past occupational accidents, puts in place comprehensive measures and ongoing checks, and carries out efforts to eradicate potential risks in the workplace.

< Disaster Prevention Measures Anticipating Earthquakes, Fires, and Other Emergency Situations >

JDI carries out comprehensive earthquake evacuation drills addressing the risks of a building collapse, fires, and other emergencies caused by a large-scale earthquake at every site and office annually.
In light of the novel coronavirus crisis in fiscal 2021, JDI innovated drills taking care to avoid closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings, such as the use of a video outlining how to confirm evacuation routes and respond to a large-scale disaster.

< Measures to Prevent the Spread of the Novel Coronavirus Infection >

The coronavirus infection has continued to spread since 2020, but JDI followed the state of emergency declarations as well as national COVID-19 and other measures by putting in place its own measures, such as thorough health monitoring of employees on a daily basis, telework recommendations, and encouragement to take actions to avoid closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings in everyday life.
The Tottori Plant and Mobara Plant also acted as two venues for vaccinating employees and their families in addition to having the occupational vaccination carried out by business partners and actively promoting immunization in other ways.

< 2022 Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization >

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry recognized JDI health management initiatives, certifying the company as a 2022 Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization.

* The Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organizations Recognition Program is a program established by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in fiscal 2016 to highlight outstanding large enterprises and SMEs implementing health and productivity management.

< Purpose of Health Management >

JDI has set a goal to support independent employee health management in an effort to enhance the work environment with the hope of fostering enthusiasm in each and every employee.

< Health Management System >

The health management system comes into play as a material sustainability issue by positioning health as the core foundation to all JDI business activities aiming to actively support the independent health promotion of employees.

< Health Promotion >

JDI has set three goals, collectively called the JDI Impove 3, to ensure that everyone who works at JDI reduces health risks in the future in order to better themselves and their lives. “Improve” means to better oneself by acquiring knowledge and other skills in a way that illustrates enhanced value (ability).
