Operational safety

Our ongoing, autonomous program to ensure operational safety includes safety assessment and hazard identification in accordance with a basic safety management policy, and specific plans are implemented on both annual and multi-year cycles.

A comprehensive set of internal regulations guides the proper response to any industrial accidents or natural disasters which may occur. The smooth operation of the emergency response system ensures that personal safety is secured, that effects of the situation are prevented from spreading to surrounding areas, and that damage is held to a minimum, through close communication between the plants, regional management, and the head office.

Our operations located in industrial petrochemical districts have cooperative arrangements with nearby petrochemical manufacturers for mutual emergency assistance, and joint training drills are performed regularly. Such drills confirm the effective operation of the systems of communication within the plant site and between the site and the head office, and the ability of on-site personnel to react swiftly with proper response measures.
