Occupational Health and Safety / Health Management

Approach to Safety and Health in the Workplace

We recognize that ensuring health and safety in the workplace is a key management issue, and promote occupational health and safety activities such as the prevention of industrial accidents and the creation of a healthy and safe work environment in which all employees can maximize their abilities. We have established a "Health Committee" as a system to promote the health of our employees, to create a working environment where employees can work energetically, and to assess risks related to health and safety. The Health Committee meets monthly and reports to the Board of Directors.

Health Checkup

In addition to the legally mandated annual medical checkup, employees aged 35 and over are eligible for company-subsidized thorough physical examination to detect illnesses at an early stage and further promote their health.

For FY2023, the health checkup uptake rate was 100% (Tosei Corporation).

Stress Check

The stress check system is implemented once a year for the purpose of primary prevention of mental health problems by helping employees recognize and cope with their own stress and improving the work environment.

The Company has set a target of 90% or more for the stress check inspection rate, and the actual rate for FY2023 was 100% (Tosei Corporation).

Cooperation with Industrial Physician

For employees who work overtime above a certain level, including managers, an interview with an industrial physician is mandatory, a measure that exceeds the legal standard.

Health Promotion Programs

In addition to regular health checkups, we offer health promotion programs that employees can easily participate in on a voluntary basis. In 2023, we held "Health Seminars" and "Health Measurement Session" by public health nurses and "Seminar on Relaxation" with yoga instructors.

Mental Healthcare

Questionnaires and training on mental health care are conducted for all employees under the guidance of affiliated industrial physicians. In addition, in cooperation with affiliated hospitals, we have set up a dedicated desk where employees can directly seek health consultation.

Measures to Prevent the COVID-19 Infection

In response to the spread of the COVID-19 infection, we implemented measures to ensure the health and safety of employees, their families, business partners, and others, such as requiring the wearing of masks, installing disinfectants, ventilating office and meeting rooms, encouraging hand sanitization, and installing acrylic panels. In addition, working from home is encouraged, and a teleworking environment has been prepared by distributing mobile terminals, utilizing the cloud, building PCs with external connectivity, and establishing various other infrastructure.

The "Health and Productivity Management Organization" is a system to honor large corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises, and other corporations that practice particularly excellent health management, based on initiatives that meet local health issues and health promotion efforts promoted by Nippon Kenko Kaigi.

Occupational Safety and Health

Our Approach to Safety and Health

We recognize that the creation of a healthy, safe, and comfortable work environment for its employees, suppliers, and all others involved with the Group is an important part of sustainable corporate growth, and promotes occupational health and safety activities, including the prevention of occupational accidents, as well as health promotion. In addition to thorough safety management in the workplace, we have a system in place to respond appropriately in the unlikely event of an industrial accident, such as by establishing a close communication system to ensure prompt action in the event of an accident.

Employee Safety and Health

We recognize the importance of a healthy, safe, and comfortable work environment for all employees in order to achieve sustainable corporate growth, and we are promoting occupational health and safety activities, including the prevention of occupational accidents, and the promotion of employee health. In the event of an occupational accident, the Human Resources Department, which is the main management department, will promptly confirm the situation and, in cooperation with the department where the incident occurred, report to and consult with various meetings and related organizations in an effort to contain the situation and take appropriate measures. In addition, we promptly formulate and implement countermeasures, ensure that all employees of the Group are fully aware of these measures, and continuously follow up to prevent recurrence.

For FY2023, the number of violations of labor standards and the number of occupational accidents were 0 (Tosei Corporation).

Safety and Health in the Supply Chain

Workplace Safety Management

In order to ensure workplace safety management and health promotion throughout the entire supply chain, including contractors, our group works closely and collaboratively with the government, suppliers, contractors, and other parties at every stage from design, construction, and construction supervision to building operation and management to ensure safety and health in the workplace, construction sites, and other areas. In addition to thorough safety management at construction sites, including the wearing of helmets, etc., a close communication system has been established so that we can respond promptly in the event of an accident.
There have been no fatal industrial accidents among all employees and primary suppliers of the Group between FY2020 and FY2023.

Supplier Questionnaire (ESG Questionnaire)

As part of our supply chain management, we have established a Sustainable Procurement Manual and conduct an annual supplier questionnaire (ESG questionnaire) for important suppliers whose annual order value exceeds a certain amount to check their respect for human rights, including occupational health and safety, prohibition of child labor and forced labor, prohibition of harassment, as well as compliance with laws, environmental considerations, and risk management. The results are reviewed by the Sustainability Committee, which then deliberates on whether or not to continue transactions with the companies. In 2023, we conducted questionnaires for 6 suppliers in the Revitalization, Development, and Rental Business, and the committee reviewed their initiatives and discussed whether to continue transactions with them. The same questionnaire has been conducted since 2021, monitoring a cumulative total of 19 suppliers, accounting for more than 84% of total supplier orders in the relevant businesses.

Quality Improvement Conference

The Tosei Group holds an annual "Quality Improvement Conference" to raise awareness of safety, quality management and compliance and to build a strong partnership with partner companies, with the aim of improving the quality of operations. This event is hosted by Tosei Community, which operates a property management business, and is a group training session for its primary suppliers, or secondary suppliers to Tosei, which are important business partners, and is part of the supply chain management of the Tosei Group's real estate portfolio. 51 participants from 29 business partners joined the event in 2023.
