Health and Safety Committee / Company-Wide Health and Safety Liaison Committee
The MIDAC Group's Health and Safety Committee (based on the Industrial Safety and Health Act) and Company-Wide Health and Safety Liaison Committee (made up of key members of the Group) meet every month to facilitate quick decision-making within the Group.
The Health and Safety Committee and the Company-Wide Health and Safety Liaison Committee share health and safety-related information, initiatives, and results related to safety and health from across the Company, and also examine issues related to safety and health management to prevent occupational accidents, maintain and improve employee health, and realize a comfortable working environment.
To realize a safe working environment, we take measures to prevent recurrence based on the results of accidents and disasters.
Specialized departments regularly patrol the workplace to ensure that employees are not exposed to danger in their work environment, while also confirming working environments and providing guidance.
In addition, we conduct employees' health checkups and monitor health statuses, and consider measures to maintain and promote the health of our employees.

Health and Safety Activities
We have introduced 4M analysis to strengthen safety measures.
There are 4 "M" factors in disasters and accidents. Specifically, they are Man, Machine, Media, and Management, and, by organizing these factors, potential causes and risks of accidents can be brought to light.
When an accident occurs, we use 4M analysis to determine the cause of the accident. In the event of an accident, not only pursue one factor, but also analyze and verify all of the M factors to prevent recurrences.
Strengthening Disaster and Accident Prevention through Proactive Near-Miss Activities
The MIDAC Group actively engages in "near-miss activities," in which we report, take corrective action, and improve on near-miss activities that occurred during our operations but which did not lead to accidents or disasters. The purpose of these near-miss activities is to prevent major accidents and disasters by reporting the details of the incidents (when, where, and what was about to happen), reviewing the information and likely causes, and by taking corrective actions in advance. In FY2021 there were many near-miss incidents that were related to inadequate safety confirmations. Inadequate safety confirmations are events that can lead to serious accidents, and, based on such situations, we are providing education and guidance on the effectiveness of the occupational safety method of pointing and calling.
