In order to measure the extent to which we are demonstrating our mental and physical health and abilities, we have set the following four target indicators and are regularly improving our evaluation.

Setting Target Values

The ID&E Group's health issue is that the finding rate of employees' health checkups is higher than the national average. In particular, since the prevalence of findings in liver function, blood lipids, and BMI is high, we are focusing on measures to improve dietary habits and establish exercise habits. In addition, mental health measures are also essential to achieve the final target indicators related to health, and we are working on measures to set various indicators. The target values of each indicator are reviewed every 3 years using the national average as a benchmark.

Occupational Safety and Health Initiatives

Based on the guidelines of the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare's occupational health and safety management system, the ID&E Group is working on occupational health and safety with the aim of preventing occupational accidents, improving the health of workers, and further improving the level of safety and health at workplaces by voluntarily implementing continuous health and safety management through a PDCA cycle. In addition, in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act, we appropriately conduct risk assessments to prevent the occurrence of work-related accidents and ensure the safety and health of workers. Examples of major initiatives for occupational safety are as follows.

Safety Patrol

In domestic and overseas projects, we conduct "safety patrols" according to the scale and content of the project in order to eradicate occupational accidents and foster employees' safety awareness. For projects that carry out construction supervision and management, we check the status of implementation of safety measures at the site and those involved in the construction by means of monthly joint safety patrols by the owner, contractor, and main group Company’s, and weekly safety patrols by contractors. The results of the safety patrols are fed back to the people who are involved in the project, and each project promptly formulates improvement measures based on the feedback results, reports on the status of implementation, and builds a PDCA plan to eradicate occupational accidents. In addition, the results are shared at the Health, Safety and Working Environment Council and each of main group company's subcommittees, and best practices are being rolled out horizontally along with risks related to safety management.

Security Survey

For overseas projects such as international development cooperation projects, we have established our own risk standards and make decisions on orders and travel. For projects in high-risk countries, at the time of project launch, we conduct security surveys such as project offices and dormitories with the cooperation of experts from crisis management companies that the Company contracts with. Based on the points made by crisis management experts in the survey, we will strengthen security measures at offices and dormitories and prepare and establish health and safety system so that employees can work in a safe and secure environment.

Number of occupational accidents

• ・The occurrence, causes, and countermeasures of occupational accidents are shared at the Health, Safety and Working Environment Council, the Health, Safety and Working Environment Committee of major companies, and the Health, Safety and health Committee of each business unit, in which employees recommended by the Labor union participate, and best practices are being rolled out horizontally along with risks related to safety management.
