Raising the Level of Safety Activity across the Group
Safety
The DOWA group put in place a "safety and health committee" in each of its business entities in Japan and other countries to promote safety activities according to the annual health and safety plan, based on our basic philosophy of "Safety is the top priority." We started up the Safety Activity Project across the Group last year and enhanced joint efforts per district. We are committed to raising the level of safety activities across the group.
CSR Policy
All employees will take part in safety activities with their own initiatives to improve the level of health and safety in the workplace, based on our basic philosophy of "Safety is the top priority."- To prevent work-related accidents and support the sound health of employees.

Enhancement of Risk Management
We held the briefing across the group as a kick off for the first half of Fiscal year 2013 to develop the Safety Activity project across the group. We set up a secretariat (sponsoring business entity) per district in the latter half of FY and started up district meetings to share information on the status of the activity of each company in each district and for mutual consultation.
In 2014 we will promote these activities per district mainly focusing on those district meetings.
Enhancement of Safety Education across the Group
Outside Japan, we promoted support for safety activities for logistics business in South East Asia (Thailand and Indonesia) and encouraged all of our business entities in China to participate in the Safety Conference.
In 2014 we will start up a training program for local employees outside Japan in the Technical Training Center of the DOWA group (Handa City, Shizuoka Prefecture), Japan.
The program shall provide safety education to local employees of business entities of DOWA outside Japan and to raise safety awareness of those in charge of safety outside of Japan.
We will continue offering safety courses that TABMEC has been providing since 2010 as part of educational courses to gain understanding of risks, improve sensitivity to these risks and raise safety awareness. We are planning to offer educational courses to gain understanding of risks, utilizing Safety Training Center of DOWA Metals and Mining for local employees outside Japan in 2014.
