Maintaining results lower than the national average in the same fields for frequency and strength rate
We are doing all we can to prevent accidents from occurring by carrying out regular internal inspections on the basis of an occupational safety and health management system (OSHMS). We also implement risk assessment in connection with safety whenever we set up a new production line.
Such activities are enabling us to maintain rates for frequency and strength of work accidents below the average rates for our industry as a whole in Japan.

Efforts to prevent serious accidents from occurring
In order to prevent accidents, we have introduced a “log-out system” in connection with large facilities that run the risk of being the cause of serious accidents.
Before the end of fiscal 2007 we completed the introduction of the log-out system in connection with 2,996 existing large-scale facilities in 3,634 locations. We intend to introduce this system gradually in connection with new facilities in the future.
*Lock-out system:
The lock-out system is a system whereby, when operation of a facility has been suspended for inspection or other purposes, every individual who enters the facility uses the key to lock the suspension status of the facility, which cannot be reinstated into operation until everyone has left the facility. The system prevents accidents thus prevents erroneous operation by a third party.

Holding of the All-AISIN Safety and Health Convention
The 23rd All-AISIN Global Safety and Health Convention was held in July 2007. Around 350 people took part in this convention in which commendations were presented to outstanding plants, activities inside and outside Japan were introduced, and a special lecture was presented by the company president.
This convention enabled all participants to share again in the conviction that safety should be paramount above all else.

Education about mental health
As well as performing health check-ups, we carry out regular checks on our employees' mental well-being in order to grasp their physical and mental condition and to ensure that they can maintain and improve their health.
Leaders in the workplace are also encouraged to listen to the concerns of their subordinates and thus contribute to their well-being. Special training is provided in the skills involved in listening to other people.
Policies aimed at maintaining and encouraging mental health
- Open the Mental Health Consultation Offices
- Implementation of “listener training”
- Establishment of a “self-checking corner” on the intranet
- Publication once every two months of a mental health leaflet
