OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH INITIATIVES
Occupational Safety and Health System
In 1995, the Hoya Group formulated its Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Principles and Basic Policy,
under which the Group continued its OSH activities at its domestic facilities and began them at its over-
seas plants and facilities. The Hoya Group Environmental Protection and Occupational Safety and Health
management system was set up to ensure the smooth and effective implementation of these activities.
Safety Activities
• Establishing an Occupational Safety and Health Management System
To ensure the safety and health of its employees, Hoya has established an occupational safety and health
management system based on the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001
standards. As of March 31, 2009, nine facilities in Japan and 29 facilities in 17 countries overseas have
been certified under OHSAS 18001, a process that began in March 2002.
• Measures to Ensure Machinery and Equipment Safety
In April 2005, with the aim of preventing accidents related to operating machinery and equipment, the
Hoya Group Machinery Safety Standard was issued. Within the field of occupational safety measures,
Hoya is prioritizing implementation of risk reduction measures for machinery and equipment right from
the design stage.
• Implementing OSH (Occupational Safety and Health) Audits
To improve and enhance the performance of occupational safety and health systems, audits are con-
ducted on a regular basis at facilities in Japan and overseas by a director and staff of the Hoya Group
Environmental Protection and OSH.
• Promoting OSH Activities by Global Staff
In order to promote sharing of information, education, and communication, Hoya periodically holds OSH
staff meetings.
