Health and Safety Initiatives
Inherent safety and risk assessment
安全衛生管理では、リスクアセスメントなどのプロアクティブな活動が、労働災害を減らすための重要な活動に位置づけられています。2016年から海外も含めフジクラグループ共通の方法でリスクアセスメント活動を継続しており、事業内容や拠点の規模などに関係なく、一体感を持った活動として定着してきました。抽出されたリスクに対しては、本質安全の考え方を軸にリスク低減活動を実施しています。また、すべてのリスクをデータベースシステムにて管理・分析し、低減活動の推進に活用しております。集計開始当初33,000件余りだったリスク数が、2025年3月末時点で5万件弱（許容可能なリスクとなったものも含む）とおよそ51%増加すると共に、当初低めに見積もられていたリスクを再評価した結果からリスク低減の必要性を認識し、改善につなげるような例も増えています。
今後も活動を緩めることなく潜在的なリスク抽出も強化し、「全てのリスクを許容可能なレベルにする」ことを最終目標として継続的な活動を推進していきます。
Utilizing the Occupational Safety and Health Management System
2010年度よりOHSMS（労働安全衛生マネジメントシステム）の運用を開始していましたが、本社と各事業所を統合した枠組みにて、労働安全衛生マネジメントシステム規格（ISO45001 -2018）の認証を2022年度に取得しました。対象者は社員のみならず、各事業所に出入りする全ての関係者（非正規雇用者・請負者・お客様・サービス提供者など）としています。規格の要求事項を各事業の業務改善や効率化などに効果的に取り込むと共に、全ての社員がお互いの危険行動などを積極的に指摘しあえるような相互啓発型の安全文化の構築・醸成に向けて、継続的に改善が進むようにマネジメントシステムを活用しています。

Other major activities
group companies For the purpose of confirming the safety and health management activities of bases and the status of identified risks, as well as providing various types of guidance, the Environment, Health and Safety Control Center conducts regular safety and health inspections at all domestic and overseas bases. In relation to this, in order to grasp the activities at each site without omission, we have set up a system to collect necessary information at each site side by side by using the Environment, Health and Safety survey form. This Environment, Health and Safety survey form has been made more effective by updating the questions every year, and is also effectively used for health and safety patrols. We have been trying to prevent recurrence and similar accidents by sharing accident cases. In recent years, the number of accidents has been decreasing significantly due in part to the effects of the essential safety application, and we are also making efforts to share information on near-misses.
In addition, to foster a culture of safety, we are developing activities to raise the safety awareness of all employees at Fujikura and Group companies and to improve their competence. Hazard simulation training is said to be highly effective in improving sensitivity to danger, and by sending portable equipment to each Group site, a total of more than 8,000 employees will have taken the training by FY2024, making it an effective means of education.
Various initiatives to strengthen disaster prevention and countermeasures
Group Crisis Response/Disaster Prevention Review Meeting
The purpose of the meeting is to report, discuss and conduct training regarding Fujikura Group 's disaster countermeasures and crisis preparations.
Formulating Fujikura Group Disaster Prevention guideline
With the aim of strengthening countermeasures against natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons at each of Fujikura's business locations and group companies, we have formulated the Fujikura Group Disaster Prevention guideline, which stipulate rules and procedures for advance measures and for responding immediately after a disaster occurs (initial response).
Headquarters Disaster Prevention Headquarters Training
本訓練は、首都直下型地震が発生した際に本社における人命安全・二次災害防止等の活動を担う本社災害対策本部各班の行動手順について、実際にシミュレーションを行い、災害時の体制が有効に機能するかの確認・検証を目的として実施しています。訓練では、地震発生以降の対策本部各班員の参集からスタートし、各班員の迅速な参集、本部機能に必要な機器の速やかな準備を経て、対策本部を設置します。各班員が役割に応じた個別手順等、災害時に想定される手順を実際に行動することにより、本部員は自らの役割や手順を確認・習得します。
本部では、社員の安否確認、建物やインフラの状況、周辺の交通状況等の情報を収集し、発生する諸問題への対応策の検討を通じて情報整理の難しさや重要性等を体感し、今後の改善に向けた課題を抽出します。訓練終了後には、各班より出された課題や反省点、次回につながる改善点等を共有し、個別手順書の改善に反映させています。
Disaster prevention training
As part of disaster prevention measures for the entire Fujikura Group, evacuation drills are conducted at the Head Office, Sakura business, Suzuka business and other locations, assuming major earthquakes such as a major Nankai Trough earthquake or an earthquake directly beneath the capital, in an effort to raise disaster prevention awareness.
Safety confirmation system and carrying a portable disaster prevention card
Fujikura believes that "each and every Fujikura employee is an important asset of Fujikura Group, irreplaceable by anything." Based on this belief, Fujikura is implementing various disaster prevention and mitigation measures in preparation for major natural disasters, such as the predicted Nankai Trough megathrust earthquake and the Tokyo metropolitan area earthquake, which are expected to occur in the near future. Examples of these efforts include a safety confirmation system and portable disaster prevention cards.
Safety confirmation system
Fujikura has had a safety confirmation system in place to confirm the safety of Fujikura employee and their families in the event of a disaster since 2010. Information collected through this system is promptly reported to top management and used in BCP.
Portable disaster prevention card
Fujikura distributes disaster prevention cards to all Fujikura employee to protect themselves from major disasters such as earthquakes. The cards contain information such as actions to take in the event of a major earthquake (by affected area), a disaster prevention checklist, and how to respond to the safety confirmation system.
