Security and Disaster Prevention Situation

In 2023, there were no explosions or fires, but there were four incidents of leaks of hazardous materials reported to government agencies. We will review our work standards and checklists to ensure that everyone can work without error.

Disaster Prevention Meetings

Before manufacturing a new product or changing production methods or facilities, Toagosei holds disaster prevention meetings. At these meetings, the details of plans are discussed from the perspectives of process safety and disaster prevention, occupational health and safety, environmental protection, product safety, and quality assurance, and any issues are addressed.

Disaster prevention meetings are classified into a threetier hierarchy according to the size and agenda of the meeting: formal disaster prevention meetings, simplified disaster prevention meetings, and disaster prevention manager meetings. These meetings also serve as venues for confirming and recording details to be examined in risk assessments and chemical substance risk assessments.

Disaster Drills

Each business site regularly conducts disaster drills in cooperation with fire departments and other agencies to ensure readiness in the case of an emergency. In recent years, we have also adopted tablet terminals, helmet cameras and audio to communicate on-site circumstances to the task force in real time.
Amid the increase in severe disasters due to global warming, we are devising ways to respond to unexpected situations by adapting drills to each office’s circumstances, such as assuming light staffing due to a holiday, or situations for which no scenario has been determined in advance.
