Safety efforts by sites 2022

The 3rd Safety Promotion Conference

In the Nitto Group, with the aim of sharing excellent safety activities and further enhance safety at each site and workplace, we have annually held Safety Promotion Conference since 2020. Due to the spread of Covid-19 infections, in 2020 and 2021 the conference had to be held remotely.

In 2022, however, the conference was held in a hybrid manner in person and remotely. In the conference excellent safety activities are awarded, and this year’s conference presented awards in the following three categories:

  • Site award・・・for sites meeting specific criteria based on zero-accidents period and site scale.
  • Small group safety award・・・for teams selected in the safety category through GATE Area Presentations*
  • Certification of NSP・・・Individuals nominated by site managing directors are certified as NSP (Nitto Safety Promoters) (newly created this year)

Representatives of the sites or teams awarded made presentations on their activities and encouraged roll-out of such activities throughout the Nitto Denko Group.

*Group Activity Toward Excellence – small group activities with the aim to “revitalize workplaces” and “improve quality.”

Site Award(work/fire accident prevention category)

Nitto Denko India, by rolling out bottom-up activities, including systematic training and continuous motivation of employees, has maintained a zero-accident rate for a number of years. In particular, the safety training center using models made out of waste materials, have motivated employees to take ownership of safety, leading to increased safety awareness.

Site Award(traffic safety category)

In Shenzhen Nitto Optical, in order to tackle a drastic increase of traffic volume caused by the rapid urbanization of the surrounding areas, various traffic safety activities have been carried out. In addition to proposing improvement of the traffic environment to authorities, through all-participating activities including studying traffic rules, watching a traffic accident video, traffic patrol, etc. despite being large-scale with nearly 2,000 employees, the site has achieved zero traffic accidents for four consecutive years.

Small group safety activity award

Korea Nitto Optical has introduced a human detection sensor and IC tags with the aim of achieving zero forklift accidents. This system triggers a warning alarm when pedestrians with IC tags approach within a certain distance of forklifts equipped with human detection sensors (Picture.1). This also applies when multiple forklifts are approaching each other within a certain distance (Picture.2). Through this engineering approach, forklift-related risks have been greatly reduced.
