2 Occupational Safety and Health / Industrial Safety and Disaster Prevention

Occupational Safety and Health Management System*

The Company's Osaka Works and Chiba Works acquired certification from the Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association (JISHA) for the international standards ISO 45001, which is for occupational safety and health management systems, and JISQ 45100, which added requirements related mainly to daily safety and health activities to ISO 45001 (JISQ 45001), and is conducting operations accordingly. We are making preparations toward acquiring certification for ISO 45001 and JISQ 45100 at other worksites as well.

By fiscal 2009, Sumitomo Chemical acquired OSHMS certification from JISHA at all of its Works and Research Laboratories. Afterward, some worksites switched to independent operations, and currently 2 Works (5 facilities) and 1 Research Laboratory maintain certification. (JISHA's OSHMS includes the same requirements as OHSAS 18001.)

  • Applicable scope of the Occupational Safety and Health Management System: Employees who work at the Company's Works and Research Laboratories (including tempo- rary, part-time, and dispatch employees)
