Committee Overview

We are introducing "Cooperative Safety," a new safety concept originating in Japan, to manufacturing sites, and are carrying out activities aimed at achieving both safety and productivity, as well as realizing "well-being for workers" that gives workers a sense of purpose and fulfillment in their work. We are working to clarify the rules and requirements necessary to solve the issues facing manufacturing sites through cooperative safety, and to work toward international standardization.
