Occupational Safety and Health
Occupational Health and Safety Policy
Based on one of the AMADA Group's management philosophies, "Take good care of people and the earth’s environment," the AMADA Group's Basic Policy on Sustainability "respect human rights" states that we will respect the human rights of all stakeholders and promote workplaces where diverse employees can work with enthusiasm and create an environment where they can work safely and in good health, both physically and mentally.
The AMADA Group develops, manufactures, sells, and services machines as a machine manufacturer based on the belief that contributing to the manufacturing of customers around the world will lead to progress in local communities and in people's lives. We recognize that the most important foundation of our business is to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for all people involved in our business, and we will work continuously to achieve this goal.
- We comply with the Industrial Safety and Health Act and related laws and regulations applicable in each country and region where we conduct our business, and give top priority to health and safety.
- Recognizing the importance of occupational health and safety, we will create a safe and comfortable work environment.
- We will establish and communicate occupational health and safety goals, monitor and review the status of their achievement, and continuously improve and enhance our occupational health and safety activities.
- We will provide ongoing education and training on occupational health and safety.
- Scope:
- This policy applies to all officers and employees of the AMADA Group (including regular employees, contract employees, temporary employees, part-time workers, etc.). We will also promote the realization of a safe and healthy work environment by encouraging businesses and other entities involved in transactions with the AMADA Group to understand and respect this policy.
Occupational health and safety promotion system
In accordance with the "Health and Safety Regulations," we have established the General Health and Safety Committee to comprehensively promote Companywide health and safety management. Specific activities are promoted by setting up specialized subcommittees in the Health and Safety Committee, which includes Group companies at each business site. Overseas Group companies respond to issues specific to each region and country through the General Health and Safety Committee.
*As of now, our offices in Japan have not yet obtained ISO 45001 certification.

Addressing Global Health Issues, Including Infectious Diseases
The AMADA Group recognizes the three major infectious diseases (HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria), which are prevalent mainly in developing countries, as significant global health issues. We conduct medical checkups for employees and their spouses before and after overseas assignments, educate them about various infectious diseases prior to their assignments, and recommend vaccinations against these diseases as necessary. Additionally, we provide insurance to ensure that our employees receive appropriate medical treatment during their overseas assignments. We also encourage and assist them in undergoing medical examinations, creating an environment in which they can focus on their work with peace of mind.
