Policy and Commitment
To prevent occupational accidents and health disorders at worksites and protect the environment, Shimizu works to strengthen occupational スポーツベット 2ch and health management and promote accident prevention activities, with the goal of zero fatal and serious accidents and zero public accidents.
Basic Health and スポーツベット 2ch Policy
Basic Principles
Shimizu stands on the principle of respect for human life and human beings and places the highest priority on safeguarding the lives and health of our employees in all corporate activities. We have established a corporate culture that is grounded in スポーツベット 2ch and maintain a safe, comfortable work environment.
Measures for Achieving Our Goal
- Shimizu operates a Construction Occupational Health and スポーツベット 2ch Management System (COHSMS). We pursue enhancement of preventative スポーツベット 2ch measures through risk assessment and strive to reduce occupational accidents on a continual basis.
- We recognize the importance of both スポーツベット 2ch and production in business activities, based on our policy of スポーツベット 2ch as a top priority. We ensure safe equipment by implementing redundant スポーツベット 2ch measures and other means and work to make construction procedures readily visible, from the construction planning stage onward.
- We encourage suppliers and subcontractors to establish independent スポーツベット 2ch management*, actively encourage disaster prevention conferences, and clarify the respective role and responsibilities of Shimizu and our subcontractors in promoting the prevention of accidents.
- We recognize our responsibility as a business operator to further improve initial explanation of projects and training on job site rules to workers who are new to a job site. We work to ensure strict スポーツベット 2ch compliance among workers and eliminate accidents involving them.
- We make sure that managers in charge of health and スポーツベット 2ch have the knowledge and dynamism to educate employees and develop them as promoters of compliance with laws and regulations (strict compliance with company rules for スポーツベット 2ch work) and accident prevention.
- We have strengthened rules on working safely to eliminate exposure to dust, asbestos, and other materials that are harmful to health, and work to provide comprehensive education on preventing health hazards.
The policies above also apply to subcontractors to which construction work is outsourced. Shimizu distributes the Supplier and Subcontractor Health & スポーツベット 2ch Management Guidelines to subcontractors we outsource construction work to and facilitates independent and sustainable health and スポーツベット 2ch management by these companies.

Company-wide Health and スポーツベット 2ch Plan for Fiscal 2025
"Raise Individual スポーツベット 2ch Awareness—Achieve Zero Accidents through Teamwork"
Code of Conduct for Achieving Zero Accidents
All personnel involved at worksites must share a sense of ownership, and with a conviction to protect the lives and physical and mental well-being of oneself and colleagues, practice smooth communication and implement the PDCA cycle. Departments, worksites, project leaders, and foremen are expected to help each worker strengthen their awareness of potential hazards and promote スポーツベット 2ch activities that encourage every team member to see スポーツベット 2ch as their own responsibility.
PDCA Cycle
P (Plan): Identify potential accidents and disasters based on risk assessment and proactively ensure スポーツベット 2ch by incorporating "double スポーツベット 2ch" measures into work plans and procedures.
D (Do): Share awareness of accident and disaster risks; employees, foremen, スポーツベット 2ch and Health Supervisors, and work supervisors must fulfill their responsibilities and ensure スポーツベット 2ch through teamwork.
C (Check): Based on the new "Three Actuals" principle (Actual Site, Actual Thing and Actual Situation) with increased verification eyes, conduct site patrols and inspections to confirm safe conditions.
A (Act): If actual operations deviate from the plan, stop the work, reassess the risks, revise the plan, and communicate the changes to all stakeholders before resuming.
Key Measures
- Eliminate fall and drop-related accidents (refer to fall protection equipment as スポーツベット 2ch belt)
- Eliminate construction machinery and crane-related accidents
- Eliminate collapse-related accidents
- Eliminate public accidents, infrastructure damage, and fire incidents
System
Our health & スポーツベット 2ch management structure (Executive Vice President and Representative Director) is headed by a スポーツベット 2ch & environmental officer, who is director and senior managing executive officer appointed by the president. The health & environmental officer is responsible for overseeing the company’s health and スポーツベット 2ch management. The head of the スポーツベット 2ch Administration & Environment Division plans and implements specific activities and initiatives. At the branch level, each branch manager is responsible for planning and implementation in their own branch. Twice a year, Shimizu holds meetings of the スポーツベット 2ch & Environment Committee, where members, including the executive officer in charge of スポーツベット 2ch and environment, receive reports on health and スポーツベット 2ch activities and discuss and formulate matters related to the company-wide health and スポーツベット 2ch plan, along with measures and efforts to prevent the recurrence of serious accidents and incidents. In addition, three times a year we convene the Company-wide Meeting of General Managers of スポーツベット 2ch and Environment Departments to review health and スポーツベット 2ch activities at each branch, incorporate employee input into the company-wide health and スポーツベット 2ch plan, exchange views with branch offices to help streamline health and スポーツベット 2ch management operations and raise management standards, and share best practices and measures for preventing accidents and incidents.
Construction Occupational Health and スポーツベット 2ch Management System
Our スポーツベット 2ch management method is to promote measures to prevent accidents by taking preventive スポーツベット 2ch measures that focus on universal potential hazardous factors. At all work sites, applicable hazardous work is identified at the pre-construction review meeting before the start of construction. After the start of construction, we conduct risk assessments for each work procedure at individual pre-construction meetings and assign a person in charge to implement risk mitigation measures. Since 2001, we have been operating an occupational health and スポーツベット 2ch management system based on Construction Occupational Health and スポーツベット 2ch Management System (COHSMS) Guidelines to raise the level of our health and スポーツベット 2ch standards by effectively implementing the PDCA cycle.

Initiatives
Efforts to Prevent Occupational Accidents
Accident Analysis
The following procedures are followed when responding to on-the-job accidents:
- Provide information to the relevant people through the accident reporting system.
- Perform an investigation of the accident and include スポーツベット 2ch staff in the investigation.
- Formulate plans for and implement corrective measures to prevent recurrence of similar accidents based on the investigation and analysis.
- Roll out measures internally, across the organization when necessary.
- Accumulate accident data for use of risk assessments, etc. and prepare スポーツベット 2ch-related statistics.
By accident type, the most common was slip, followed by fall and drop. There were 55 incidents in FY2024 that resulted in four or more days of absence from work, up by 10 from the previous year. Falls remain one of the most frequent causes of accidents, often stemming from insufficient coordination between our company and subcontractors. To prevent such incidents, we identify fall-risk tasks each day, and our employees are required to visit the site before work begins to discuss potential hazards directly with those involved. These efforts are part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring safer on-site operations. Based on analysis results and severity of accidents in FY2024, we will continue to prioritize eliminating fall and drop-related accidents in FY2025, while also focusing on the elimination of construction machinery and crane-related accidents, collapse-related accidents, and public accidents, infrastructure damage, and fire incidents, aiming for further reduction in accidents. Ensuring スポーツベット 2ch is fundamental to construction and manufacturing, and it forms the basis of client and public trust. By working together—our company, subcontractors, foremen, and workers—we aim to fulfill our roles and responsibilities and achieve zero fatal, severe, and public accidents.
Mechanism for Handling Complaints
