Health and Safety Initiatives

DISCO began its Zero Accident initiative in fiscal year 2004 with the aim of eliminating accidents and encouraging health and safety to take root in our corporate culture.
More specifically, this initiative focuses on the reduction of workplace-specific risks that lead to accidents, “zero traffic accident” exercises, safety training, and disaster prevention activities.
In order to create a workplace where all people can work safely, DISCO has been making efforts to prevent accidents in both the “hard” aspect, such as improving facilities and equipment, as well as the “soft” aspect, such as rethinking individual actions and sharing necessary information. In particular, DISCO has been focusing on the abovementioned Zero Accident initiative that aims to eliminate accidents and encourage health and safety to take root in our corporate culture. In addition to safety training for new employees, DISCO proactively creates opportunities to think about safety, such as conducting KYT (risk prevention training) and holding discussions in order to achieve zero accidents.
DISCO also holds monthly Health and Safety Committee meetings with all domestic and overseas affiliates in order to realize a safe and comfortable work environment. The committee members patrol their respective workplaces, make a note of ideas that excel in safety and points that could be improved, and report them at the committee meeting. Furthermore, whenever a work-related accident occurs, the applicable department formulates an accident prevention countermeasure. The Health and Safety Committee then discusses the validity of these countermeasures and how they can be applied in other areas. Regardless of the size of the accident, details of the accident are shared and countermeasures are implemented for all employees.
One example of the Zero Accident initiative is the implementation of the “Internal Driver’s License System” starting from fiscal year 2016. Even if an employee has an official driver’s license, if they are required to drive as part of their work at DISCO, they must acquire the internal driver’s license. This system was updated in 2019, and by conducting an original classroom learning test every year, each and every employee is able to continue to review the way they drive and be aware of their safety.

In order to achieve zero accidents, it is absolutely vital to raise the safety awareness of each and every employee, and DISCO provides safety training to this end.
Recently, particular focus has been on safety training for customer engineers for when they carry out service maintenance. DISCO provides a consistent level of safety training across all its domestic and overseas local affiliates.
DISCO continues to promote initiatives to achieve zero accidents throughout the entire group.
