Health and safety policies

Based on the fundamental principle of “safety is nurtured by the person,” we aim to eliminate risk factors and create a safety culture in which all employees can participate.

Fundamental principle

“Respect for human life” is fundamental to our health and safety activities. 

By elevating and stimulating safety awareness and creating a comfortable working environment, we aim to eliminate work-related disasters and equipment accidents.

At the same time, we practice “sticking to the fundamentals” and living up to the trust of our customers as their best partner.

Health and Safety Initiatives

Company-wide Safety Activities

The Company has organized a “Health and Safety Cooperative Association” of our cooperating companies at each of our locations to ensure comprehensive safety awareness by holding health and safety events and meetings, and by developing joint policies, etc. We are continuing these activities and initiatives in the current fiscal year.

Methods of Safety Management Using ICT

At jobsites, safety construction study groups are held with cooperating partners prior to the start of construction to identify hazardous areas, discuss how to deal with them, and to take risk-reducing measures. 

A “Safety App” is also used to link safety construction study groups to work procedure manuals, and to develop safety initiatives that integrate jobsites and desks.

After the start of construction, by using Teams, etc., desks centrally manage the processes at each jobsite, and prevent accidents from occurring by understanding and extracting dangerous processes, coordinating on-site presence of work, etc.

In addition, since fiscal 2020, remote jobsite rounds have been conducted from desks using webcams, etc., to provide real-time guidance and education.

Operation of the Health and Safety Cooperative Association Portal Site

We have established a portal site on the Company’s website for timely sharing of safety and quality information with all of our cooperating companies. We also post the training schedule currently being held at the Haneda Safety Training Center, information on classes, and the number of seats remaining for cooperating companies’ workers, etc.

Utilization of the Haneda Safety Training Center

Through hands-on training using actual equipment that allows participants to “see, touch, and experience,” at the Haneda Safety Training Center, we are striving to eliminate repetitive accidents and further improve safety and quality awareness. The latest air conditioning equipment, such as the “CyberAir3,” is also displayed. In the experience and training area, a VR accident simulator has been introduced where trainees can experience 17 types of accident scenarios, including crashes and falls, and traffic accidents. By enhancing our equipment and the content of training, we are striving to eliminate serious accidents and repetitive-type accidents and improve the technical skills of our workers. We also provide hands-on training to members of the Company’s Health and Safety Cooperative Association and young employees of our customers, contributing to the elimination of telecommunication accidents in NTT work and the reduction of occupational accidents in general office renovation work.
