Workplace Safety and Health
Introducing measures aimed at assuring employee safety in the workplace and healthy work environments
Creating Safer Workplaces
Awarding of group certification: TOYOBESQ (top), Fine Catec (bottom)
Led by its Central Safety and Health Committee, Yamaha Motor is promoting the establishment of safer working environments globally. Risk assessment is performed in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS), now in its sixth year of operation, to detect potential dangers or harmful conditions at workplaces, and measures are taken to prevent occupational accidents. Apart from improving equipment safety, we are also engaged in the development of human resources that can support occupational safety by conducting position-specific education and training, such as safety manager training programs and skill improvement programs for supervisors, and holding occupational safety and health meetings.
In 2008, Yamaha Motor began introducing OSHMS at its group companies, and as of 2010, nine domestic companies and one overseas company have acquired group certification. As for activities in 2011, acquisition of group certification is planned for the ASEAN region.
Since April 1, 2011, Yamaha Motor has operated an "Integrated Management System" that combines the above system with the environmental management system.

Supporting Employees in Maintaining a Healthy Mind and Body

Yamaha Motor promotes a wide range of initiatives for helping employees maintain and improve their emotional and physical health.
We are committed to creating healthy and vital workplaces for the prevention of and recovery from lifestyle-related diseases. For instance, we make efforts for endurance improvement and obesity prevention through exercise habits, such as by hosting walk rally events and holding the Walk, Walk Campaign twice a year. In partnership with the health insurance association, we have also been providing antismoking products to interested employees to help them in their efforts to quit smoking. The company's smoking rate has declined from 35.6% in 2009 to 33.4%.
In terms of support for mental/emotional health, we have continued to engage in efforts such as health guidance given by occupational health physicians, mental/emotional health seminars for new managers and supervisors, and support for expatriates and mid-career recruits.
