TOYO TIRES WORLDWIDE

Creating Safe and Healthy Workplaces

Issues to be addressed

  • ・Global-level worker safety and health management

TOYO TOYO TIRE believes that it is the responsibility of all stakeholders to prioritize safety in all of their corporate activities. In addition, promoting the health of employees leads to improved productivity and improved corporate value, and we recognize this to be an important business issue for the future business growth. The globalization and diversity are progressing for our employees within the company. And preventing industrial accidents and promoting the health of workers, creating a comfortable work environment, and continuing to manage and improving them, does not only reduce economic damage and loss of life, but also lead to improvements in performance and corporate value, such as better productivity and quality. Thus, we have positioned these as issues that should be addressed with priority.

Affected Stakeholders

Directly: Employees
Indirectly:Local Communities, Shareholders and Investors, Creditors, Business Organizations

Guiding Policies

At TOYO TIRE, labor and management work together to operate an occupational health and safety management system based on OSHMS Guidelines (Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health Management System, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) and promote safety and health throughout the company. These efforts consist primarily of conducting risk assessments and implementing necessary measures based on their results under the leadership of top management.
Decisions on annual policies, targets, and plans related to occupational health and safety are made at the Company-wide Safety and Health Meeting, a joint labor-management committee, which also evaluates the progress of plans and makes necessary improvements.

OSHMS: 4 sites in Japan
- Good Safety Company: 4 sites in Japan

TOYO TIRE’s SDGs (Ideal Status in 2030)

  • We will contribute to create a society where everyone is able to work safety and healthy though "smartness" -development and introduction of technologies that reduce the human load, e.g. AI and IoT.

Goals

The frequency of accidents, lost-time accident rate, number of fires, and several other indicators are used to ascertain the state of occupational health and safety in the workplace, and efforts are made to improve conditions at workplaces.

Fiscal 2021 Occupational Health and Safety Policy (Safety, Disaster prevention, Health)

Safety： Creating a true safety culture by integrating the “top-down” approach by the leadership team at bases/sites and the “bottom-up” approach by way of small group activities
Disaster management： Reinforcing fire prevention/management and enhancing preparedness for fires and natural disasters and upgrading drills
Hygiene： Protecting mental/physical health and the sound work environment so that employees can improve their performance while feeling motivated and happy

We have compiled the Industrial Accident Response Manual to mitigate risks to the company and employees, protect employees' safety and the company's credibility, and minimize the occurrence of accidents by taking prompt action when a labor-related accident occurs. Stipulated clearly in this manual are concrete steps to follow when an industrial accident occurs, a requisite risk management system against industrial accidents, procedures in ordinary times, the code of conduct for employees, and procedures in times of emergency.
At production facilities where employees with diverse backgrounds work, we make announcements in multiple languages and use illustrations and color-coded warnings signs so that all the employees can work safely.
As a result of these efforts, in fiscal 2020, our total incidence rate of occupational accidents in Japan decreased by 28% from the previous year.
