Measures against accidents and natural disasters
We prioritize human life and takes appropriate measures when natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, and heavy rains occur. Additionally, considering the impact of our product supply on society as a whole and the importance of supply responsibility, we implement damage prevention and mitigation measures based on risk assessments. Especially regarding seismic measures, we identify facilities and buildings that require earthquake resistance from the perspective of prioritizing human life and are advancing effective seismic measures.

Case Emergency Response Drill at the Higashinagahara Plant
At the Higashinagahara Plant, to prepare for emergencies such as fires, explosions, and hazardous material leaks, comprehensive disaster drills are conducted twice a year (spring and fall) in cooperation with the various companies working within the plant. This training aims to reliably carry out reporting and communication to the fire department, police station, and neighboring areas, as well as evacuation guidance, rescue of the injured, and first aid to prevent escalation to a larger accident, with cooperation from the local fire department. We will continue to conduct training so that we can respond calmly and smoothly in the event of an emergency.
