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.
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, 2012, 8 facilities in Japan and 28 facilities in 18 countries overseas have been
certified by OHSAS 18001, a process that began in March 2002.
Along 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.
Occupational Safety and Health
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.
