Tokuyama Complex | Safety Initiatives

Safety measures at Complex not only help maintain smooth production activities, but are also a major factor in determining international competitiveness. Furthermore, accidents that cause inconvenience to the local community must never occur. At Idemitsu Kosan, safety and maintenance personnel work together to ensure accident-free operations. All equipment that operates without rest is periodically shut down and every single pipe is inspected for malfunctions or abnormalities. In addition, each Complex has its own fire engine, and regular training is conducted in preparation for any emergency.

Prioritize safety measures

Idemitsu Kosan is aware that ensuring safety is the foundation of its business, and so the entire company is working to ensure safety. At Complex, TPM activities are being implemented to prevent accidents, including preventing equipment trouble by managing equipment based on the causes of deterioration, and preventing operational errors by considering human factors. In addition, we are working together with partner companies to implement steady safety activities to prevent accidents and troubles.

Security management policy

From April 1, 2006, we began operating a security management system based on the "Security Management Regulations" with the aim of ensuring the safe operation of Complex and the safety of our employees, as well as maintaining and improving the level of security. Did.
Security means preventing accidents and malfunctions, preventing the spread of disasters, and preventing health problems, minimizing damage to people and property, and ensuring the safety of workers in Complex and the public.

Security capability evaluation by a third party

In October 2017, Tokuyama Complex underwent a "Safety Competency (Safety Infrastructure and Safety Culture) Evaluation" conducted by the Safety Competency Center of the Japan Society for Safety Engineering.
As a result, our existing efforts in safety management, including risk assessment, as well as the formulation, implementation, evaluation and continuous improvement activities, were recognized, and we received high marks in many areas for the evaluation of "safety infrastructure" and "safety culture."
On the other hand, in the "Safety Culture" evaluation, we received advice for improvement in the following areas: (1) training of safety experts, (2) horizontal dissemination of good practices in safety activities, and (3) streamlining of operations and internal meetings. We are working to make improvements with the aim of further raising our safety level.
