Basic HSSE Guidelines
At the JGC Group, we regard Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) as corporate values that must always be pursued. We have established a group-wide basic Vision for HSSE: "Everyone works in good health and safety, and returns home to their families safely." We are committed to improving HSSE performance throughout the Group, not only within our own Group but also for all people working at domestic and overseas offices and construction sites, including partner companies.
- *HSSE stands for Health, Safety, Security and the Environment.
HSSE Promotion System
In our Group, taking into account the differences in the content and characteristics of each business, we have established Safety and Health Committees (or HSSE Committees) for each major operating company. These committees identify and evaluate important HSSE topics, implement appropriate measures, and promote initiatives to reduce risks.
Total Engineering Business
Both JGC Corporation and JGC Japan Corporation hold monthly HSSE Committee meetings, where they discuss preventive and responsive measures based on potential hazards and past cases of responding to accidents, as well as share good practices. In addition, at construction sites which mobilize large numbers of workers for construction activities, we work with partner companies to establish site-specific committees, and work together to improve occupational health and safety performance. In the event of a serious accident, not only the relevant construction site but also each company's HSSE Committee and occupational health and safety management departments respond promptly. We have a system in place to provide emergency support to relevant departments as necessary.
Functional Materials Manufacturing Business
At JGC Catalysts and Chemicals Ltd., the main business sites—Kitakyushu and Niigata—hold monthly Safety and Health Committee meetings, where they formulate annual plans for occupational health and safety, monitor the occurrence of occupational accidents, and have industrial physicians conduct workplace patrol reports. In addition, from the perspective of raising employee awareness of safety and health, the company implements its own safety and health conventions and "pointing and calling" campaigns, among other initiatives.
At Japan Fine Ceramics Co., Ltd., the major policy is to aim for "zero occupational accidents." The company has a management system in which the Safety and Health Committee, held monthly at the headquarters, receives reports from each business division on safety performance and patrol status at factory sites.

What is "Respect & Care - IIFTM" Program?
Respect & Care - Incident and Injury-Free (IIFTM) program at the worksite is based on the idea of workers watching out for each other and ensuring that everyone involved in the project is treated like one big family; where caring of each other gives them inspiration to always return home safely without incident
