Under our safety management system, in fiscal 2008, the domestic Kuraray Group companies addressed tasks such as reinforcement of risk assessment for non-routine works, tightening of the practice of pointing and calling for the purpose of confirmation, and increase in the level of safety among individual employees at each workplace.
As a result the safety record at affiliated companies improved. At 0.34, the lost workday injury incidence rate* among domestic Kuraray Group companies in fiscal 2008, while below the target of 0.10, represented substantial improvement from that of 0.41 recorded in fiscal 2007. For fiscal 2009, we are aiming to reduce it to zero by strengthening safety activities through steps such as instatement of the Safety Level Evaluation System.
