The Komatsu Group makes efforts to create a satisfying, safe, and healthful work environment so that each and every employee can conduct his or her work with energy, enthusiasm, and peace of mind.
In June 2007, the Message from the Komatsu President Regarding Health and Safety was revised. President and CEO Kunio Noji delivered the message that, with a view to creating a company and workplace with no safety incidents or illness, all employees must make concerted and proactive efforts towards management of health and safety and respond to relevant issues in a prioritized and timely fashion. The major points of his address were as follows;
In FY2006 Komatsu launched Occupational Safety & Health Management Systems (OSHMSs) in its plants and began activities for introducing these systems.
Furthermore, the company incorporated proactive activities to enhance safety using risk assessments into a push towards "zero accidents" in order to propel safety activities forward through the participation of all employees. In FY2007, while further promoting "zero accidents" efforts, the company intends to acquire OSHMS certification and firmly establish the system. In the years to come, Komatsu plans to spread these systems throughout the Komatsu Group, thereby eradicating work-related accidents throughout the Group.
