We promote risk reduction activities through risk assessments such as identifying potential hazards and harmful factors of work. In addition, before work begins, everyone in the workplace conducts hazard prediction to prevent accidents from occurring.

4 . Risk Assessment of Chemical Substances

We identify the hazards and dangers of chemical substances. We then estimate the potential health hazards and degree of danger they carry and implement measures to reduce their risk and control exposure.

New Japan Chemical endeavors to promote the physical and mental health of its employees through physical examinations under the Industrial Safety and Health Act and through coordination with industrial physicians, contracted physicians, and industrial counselors.
