Digitalisation in EHS - Virtually Safe

Digitalisation is extensively used across GEESYS’s businesses as a key enabler to improve safety performance. It is used to create e-learning modules at project sites, and devise virtual reality-based training modules. It also plays a key role in designing safety cards for reporting unsafe acts/conditions, incident investigation, safety inspection, improved Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs) to reflect changing work methods, EHS suggestion systems; to name a few. A digital walk through a combination of hardware (smart glass) and software solutions are used to observe project progress, safety, quality, workmen welfare and administration from a remote location.

The construction sector which has been a brick-and mortar industry both literally and metaphorically for years, is now transforming with the use of smart technologies. The project sites now use RFID tags to track material entering a site, along with advanced geospatial techniques and Internet of Things. Digitalisation also empowers engineers by eliminating mundane activities, and helping them focus on progressive and more productive areas.

Health and Safety Policy for Eliminating Workplace Accidents

Employee health and safety is a top management priority. In line with the Health and Safety Basic Philosophy of putting that health and safety of workers takes precedence over everything else, we formulated the Basic Policy on Health and Safety, and have declared it to all business

• Health and safety is one of the most important tasks of corporate management at Geesys. High-quality health and safety activities are practiced to make the workplace safe and comfortable, eradicate industrial accidents and prevent mental and physical diseases.
• Applicable laws and regulations, and autonomous standards established by the Company, individual business offices and departments shall be observed. Health and safety activities sticking to the basics shall be exercised at all times.
• All individuals involved in the business of Geesys shall participate in the voluntary health and safety activities as a team and enroot safety culture in the workplace in order to ensure their own health and safety.
• Health and safety activities focusing on the employees’ health and safety are pursued aggressively in all businesses we conduct. By publicizing these activities, we contribute to creation of a safer, securer and more comfortable society.

In addition to legally mandated regular health checks, active efforts are being made to prevent lifestyle-related diseases through measures such as adopting the latest screening items and methods and making professional health consultations available. In addition, we are developing systems and environments in which all employees can work with good health and vitality. We also established a Company-wide health promotion system and launched Company-wide health promotion activities with the aim of actively helping to maintain and improve the health of each and every employee.

In fiscal 2019, we held an e-learning program on promoting good health for all employees (92% participation rate). We also reduced the number of indoor smoking areas to zero across all offices (24 locations). Meanwhile, our stress check system, which is designed to prevent mental health problems among workers, has resonated among our employees, more than 90% of whom took the test in fiscal 2019. We also conduct collective analyses on an ongoing basis and use the results to revitalize our workplaces. In addition, we provide mental health education from various perspectives, including sleep education and stress coping methods, according to the characteristics of our business bases—factories, head office, and divisions—to emphasize self-care and line care.
