Safety and Health

Fiscal 2022 results [the DENSO Group]

In fiscal 2022, with a focused on preventing serious accidents, fires, and explosions and reducing the number of “Grade 1 accidents” involving moving parts of machinery and heavy objects, we offered safety-related communication provided by heads of each department and promoted safety-related activities in which all employees participated, including activities to strengthen disaster prevention through hands-on training involving the handling of abnormalities and explosion and fire prevention maintenance centered on high-risk equipment. With regard to domestic Group companies, certain safety-related targets were not reached due to an increase in the number of accidents. The results of an analysis on the factors that led to said accidents showed that there was a particularly high number of accidents regarding employees getting parts of their bodies stuck in the operating parts of production equipment. To that end, we implemented specialized training activities emphasizing the dangers of touching moving objects of machinery, and we will continue such activities on an ongoing basis with a view to preventing future accidents.
