• Visualization of status
  All accidents, including general injuries and near misses, are reported to the headquarters and continuously monitored. This makes it easier to grasp the safety status at the site.
• HSSE Audits and Improvement Activities
  Audits are conducted for each partner company on a project-by-project basis, and at the corporate level, audits are also carried out for each project. For the latter, in particular, after reporting and deliberation at the HSSE Committee, necessary corrective actions are reliably implemented, thereby driving the PDCA cycle.
• Response to serious
  accidents and organizational improvement
  In the event of a serious accident, root cause analysis is conducted to identify organizational issues. The results are shared within the HSSE Committee and other relevant bodies, and disseminated company-wide as
  "Lessons Learned" to prevent recurrence and drive improvements.

JGC Group has established six lagging indicators and four leading indicators to measure HSSE performance at its overseas construction sites. We continue to monitor whether the requirements are being effectively implemented to achieve our HSSE targets. These KPI(key performance indicators) help align with our determination to be recognized as the benchmark for health and safety in our industry.

JGC Group has adopted the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP) 9 Life-Saving Rules with a strong belief that the rules will help our employees stay safer on our projects.
By adopting the rules, JGC Group is now part of a "common playing field" making it easier for everyone involved. This alignment also supports a smooth integration with our clients who belong to the IOGP. Finally, the adoption of the IOGP 9 Life-Saving Rules also aligns with Our basic principles: "To create safe, secure and healthy workplaces in which all staff can carry out their functions with confidence".

1. 1.Obtain authorization before overriding or disabling safety controls
2. 2.Obtain authorization before entering a Confined Space
3. 3.Follow safe driving rules
4. 4.Verify isolation and zero energy before work begins
5. 5.Control flammables and ignition sources
6. 6.Keep yourself and others out of the line of fire
7. 7.Plan lifting operations and control the area
8. 8.Work with a valid permit when required
9. 9.Protect yourself against a fall when working at height

By equipping employees with basic HSSE knowledge and skills, we have created an environment that fosters and shares a safety culture and helps all employees understand the importance of HSSE on construction sites. Prior to mobilization to any of our domestic or overseas projects, all employees participate in three days of intensive HSSE training.

In providing this growth and development opportunity in basic HSSE knowledge and skills, we immediately start creating a strong and common safety culture and an environment in which all employees understand the importance we place upon HSSE on our projects. This includes an overview of the relevant construction site and a thorough appreciation of 9 Life-Saving Rules that must be complied with.

For high-risk work activities, such as heavy lifting operations and working at height, we also offer specialized safety training programs for specific employees. This helps us to assess their level of competency and ensures we have the right employees suitably trained, assessed and fully prepared to safely execute any high-risk work safely and effectively.

We have also developed a new Virtual Reality (VR) safety learning experience where employees undergo a worksite safety incident. During different scenarios, employees learn how to identify different safety control measures to be able to work in a safe environment. Our VR safety training system provides a wide range of visual and auditory sensory stimulation as well as vibration, wind pressure and simulated crashes, all at the same time. This makes this training more realistic than ever and has shown a more comprehensive and effective learning experience for our employees.Furthermore, with the advent of AI technology, we now offer educational content that flexibly recreates situations closer to actual work, helping to develop on-site response capabilities.

At JGC Corporation, our overseas EPC operating company, all employees have completed education in the "Respect & Care Program," and it is being rolled out to staff in each project and Group company, with a focus on management. This program plans and implements various initiatives in which JGC Corporation and management of each EPC project participate, so that the importance of each project stakeholder and the necessity of respecting those around them are recognized at construction sites. This leads to the establishment and continuous improvement of a safety culture. For more Information Furthermore, this program is aligned with the "10 Principles of Workers Welfare" of the international organization "Building Responsibly (BR)," in which JGC Corporation participates as a board member, and is an important initiative aimed at improving workplace environments at construction sites.

At overseas construction sites, tens of thousands of multinational workers work at a project site during peak time. To ensure that they are engaged in safe work daily and return home safely to their families, our site management share safety values with the workers by proactively delivering safety messages during the morning toolbox meeting.

In addition, various safety demonstrations are conducted at each site to help workers understanding the importance of safety and We strives to foster a safety culture at work sites.

At domestic construction sites the Care Program Approach (CPA) has been introduced to prevent occupational incidents among unskilled workers. Individual care programs are developed when mobilized to the site, and periodical training is provided, paired with a designated skilled worker and coached by a skilled worker to complement the lack of experience and improve safety awareness.

JGC Group has received numerous awards for its excellent HSSE practices at construction sites in Japan and abroad.
