Hoya works to create a comfortable environment where every
employee can work safely and in good health, both to support a
meaningful life plan for employees and ensure the lasting
development of the Company.
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 promotes its OSH activities at its facilities throughout Japan
and overseas. In October 2008 the Company integrated its environmental protection and
occupational safety and health systems. Environmental protection and occupational safety and
health activities are now carried out under a new system headed up by the Hoya Group Director
for Environmental Protection, Occupational Safety and Health.
Safety Activities
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, 2011, 8 facilities in Japan and 26 facilities in
18 countries overseas have been certified by OHSAS 18001, a process that began in March
2002.
A
long with the rising popularity of OHSAS18001 certification, the Company issued the Hoya
Group Risk Management Guidelines for Occupational Safety and Health in November 2009. This
guideline has since been used to bring more cohesion to the risk assessments among facilities,
and to focus on safety measures based on hierarchy of risk reduction measures.
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 has placed utmost priority on the implementation of risk
reduction measures for machinery and equipment right from the design stage.
