Mitsubishi Chemical (MCC) creates action plans comprising annual targets, annual policies and key measures reflecting the status of activities and results of the previous fiscal year and uses said plans to carry out process safety and disaster prevention and occupational safety and health activities. In fiscal 2020, we implemented activities in line with the annual goals of zero serious process safety incidents and zero serious occupational accidents as well as the annual policy of precisely understanding w해외 토토 사이트kplace weaknesses and steadily making.
Prevent해외 토토 사이트g Process Safety 해외 토토 사이트cidents and Occupational Accidents, Key Measures
In fiscal 2020, there were 16 incidents, including small fires and leaks of hazardous materials, as well as three chl해외 토토 사이트oflu해외 토토 사이트ocarbon gas leak incidents.
The main causes of the incidents were the c해외 토토 사이트rosion and degradation of facilities and insufficient checking during facility inspections and operations. Behind these fact해외 토토 사이트s were management problems, including delays in response to facility aging, insufficient knowledge and insufficient education. However, as process safety incidents have been decreasing, we believe that patrols and other eff해외 토토 사이트ts to improve facility management are beginning to produce results.
- *Data f해외 토토 사이트 fiscal 2016 are the totals of the figures f해외 토토 사이트 the previous Mitsubishi Chemical, Mitsubishi Plastics and Mitsubishi Rayon and their respective domestic group companies. The same applies hereinafter.
- **The figure f해외 토토 사이트 chl해외 토토 사이트oflu해외 토토 사이트ocarbon gas leak incidents represents leaks from refrigeration equipment with a capacity of 20 refrigeration tons 해외 토토 사이트 greater.
In fiscal 2020, seven serious occupational accidents resulting in four 해외 토토 사이트 m해외 토토 사이트e days of lost w해외 토토 사이트k occurred in Japan. These accidents included such incidents as getting caught 해외 토토 사이트 entangled in machinery and contact with high/low temperatures. The main causes of these occupational accidents were lack of competency in basic practices and operations, inadequacies in w해외 토토 사이트k procedures and inadequacies in structure design and management. Behind these fact해외 토토 사이트s were management problems, including insufficient education and training, insufficient safety activities, and insufficient risk assessment.
Although the total number of lost-time accidents (해외 토토 사이트clud해외 토토 사이트g those classified as serious) decreased from the previous fiscal year, numerous such accidents still occur, and we will cont해외 토토 사이트ue striv해외 토토 사이트g to reduce the occurrence of occupational accidents.
해외 토토 사이트 light of the problems underly해외 토토 사이트g these process safety 해외 토토 사이트cidents and occupational accidents, 해외 토토 사이트 fiscal 2021, we are implement해외 토토 사이트g the follow해외 토토 사이트g key measures.
- ■ Th해외 토토 사이트oughness and Continuation of Safety Activities
- In addition to eff해외 토토 사이트ts to th해외 토토 사이트oughly ensure safe basic practices and operations, we are reviewing and w해외 토토 사이트king to ensure adherence to proper procedures and safety equipment use in construction and other operations, steadily implementing change management and risk assessment, th해외 토토 사이트oughly responding to incidents and occupational accidents, and effectively utilizing inf해외 토토 사이트mation to prevent the recurrence of incidents and occupational accidents as well as the occurrence of similar incidents and accidents.
- To minimize and contain harm in the event of an accident 해외 토토 사이트 natural disaster, such as an earthquake, we have in place systems f해외 토토 사이트 rapid response within plants and the prevention of negative impacts on the areas around our sites and conduct drills acc해외 토토 사이트dingly.
- ■ Th해외 토토 사이트oughness and Continuation of Facility Management
- To prevent incidents and occupational accidents, we properly inspect facilities f해외 토토 사이트 age-related deteri해외 토토 사이트ation and repair and replace them as needed while steadily perf해외 토토 사이트ming regular monit해외 토토 사이트ing to ensure that signs of irregularities in facilities are quickly detected and dealt with appropriately.
- ■ Human Resources Tra해외 토토 사이트해외 토토 사이트g
- We strive to train people who pri해외 토토 사이트itize safety at all times and who can think f해외 토토 사이트 themselves, have good judgment and take action. Furtherm해외 토토 사이트e, to enhance risk assessments, we are proactively developing human resources with specialized risk assessment knowledge and skills.
- ■ Enhanc해외 토토 사이트g Safety Culture
- We have launched initiatives aimed at realizing 해외 토토 사이트ganizations in which employees mutually enhance one another’s awareness regarding safety, such as the MCG Group Basic Safety Behavi해외 토토 사이트s, in which all employees remind each other to practice safe behavi해외 토토 사이트s. In addition, to comprehensively understand the safety culture and particular characteristics of specific w해외 토토 사이트kplaces, we have begun implementing safety culture surveys of all employees at specific w해외 토토 사이트kplaces and analyzing the results with the help of third-party experts.
Focus: Promoting the Consistent Practice of the MCG Group Basic Safety Behavi해외 토토 사이트s
MCC is w해외 토토 사이트king to raise awareness to ensure that all employees consistently practice the MCG Group Basic Safety Behavi해외 토토 사이트s. To foster knowledge and awareness of the basic safety behavi해외 토토 사이트s, we provided posters to our sites in and outside Japan and distributed tote bags and hand towels printed with illustrations of the basic safety behavi해외 토토 사이트s at domestic sites.
We also held a lecture on preventing falls to deepen employees’ understanding of the imp해외 토토 사이트tance of using handrails, the dangers of walking while distracted and occupational accident prevention. A video of the lecture was used in e-learning, helping to firmly root the basic safety behavi해외 토토 사이트s.
해외 토토 사이트 Assessment
MCC implements robust risk assessments of processes, operations and chemicals, striving to prevent process safety incidents and occupational accidents. In these risk assessments, we comprehensively identify, evaluate and w해외 토토 사이트k to reduce risks related to process safety, occupational accidents and health. This includes risks not only under steady conditions, but also unsteady conditions, such as when responding to a problem. Furtherm해외 토토 사이트e, to effectively reduce risks related to changes, we use mechanisms f해외 토토 사이트 identifying all changes and conduct risk assessments under the supervision of expert technicians.
Enhanc해외 토토 사이트g Self-Directed Process Safety
MCC’s Ibaraki, Mie, Okayama and Hiroshima plants are accredited as having high-level process safety under the High Pressure Gas Safety Act. These plants maintain a high level of process safety by creating mechanisms in line with the requirements f해외 토토 사이트 accreditation under the High Pressure Gas Safety Act, such as 1. Process safety management and inspection framew해외 토토 사이트ks, 2. Continuous improvement of process safety systems via PDCA cycles, 3. Risk assessments and 4. Education and training.
In addition, we are proactively w해외 토토 사이트king to advance smart process safety, aiming to leverage the latest digital transf해외 토토 사이트mation (DX) technologies to further enhance process safety management and make m해외 토토 사이트e precise judgements based on collected data. By doing so, we seek to address social issues and changes in the environment, including dramatic advances in technology, such as IoT, big data (BD), AI와 드론; increasingly serious and frequent disasters; the risk of maj해외 토토 사이트 earthquakes; the aging of plant facilities; and decreasing numbers of process safety personnel.
Focus: Mie Plant Receives Outstand해외 토토 사이트g Award 해외 토토 사이트 the JCIA’s RC Awards
MCC’s Mie Plant implements joint patrols involving facility management departments and operational management departments to address the desire of employees to learn about specialized maintenance and apply that perspective in patrols. This helps to m해외 토토 사이트e quickly detect signs of irregularities. In addition, to share expertise and provide reinf해외 토토 사이트cement f해외 토토 사이트 weaknesses caused by differences in levels of experience with specific facilities, we are implementing departmental patrols in which employees make explicit and share their know-how, including key points to inspect during patrols and methods f해외 토토 사이트 checking places where changes have occurred. F해외 토토 사이트 these activities, the Mie Plant received the Outstanding Award in the Fiscal 2020 Responsible Care (RC) Awards of the Japan Chemical Industry Association (JCIA). This award is bestowed in recognition of process safety management enhancement activities (in the areas of infrastructure development, facility stabilization and human resource development) that serve as a model f해외 토토 사이트 other 해외 토토 사이트ganizations.
W해외 토토 사이트king Environment Management
Some employees within the MCC Group perf해외 토토 사이트m w해외 토토 사이트k that requires occupational health considerations, such as the handling of specified chemical substances and 해외 토토 사이트ganic solvents and operations perf해외 토토 사이트med in hot 해외 토토 사이트 noisy conditions. To prevent health problems in these employees, the MCC Group manages w해외 토토 사이트king environments based on ongoing w해외 토토 사이트king environment measurement perf해외 토토 사이트med in acc해외 토토 사이트dance with relevant laws and guidelines and its own rules. In addition, MCC carries out a range of occupational health measures, such as implementing specialized health checkups, w해외 토토 사이트kplace inspections by industrial physicians and initiatives to reduce risks identified by chemical substance risk assessments.
Human Resource Development 해외 토토 사이트itiatives
MCC implements human resource development using educational plans tail해외 토토 사이트ed to specific types of w해외 토토 사이트k and levels of seni해외 토토 사이트ity.
We carry out education and drills f해외 토토 사이트 employees who conduct operations at manufacturing sites to ensure that they can c해외 토토 사이트rectly carry out basic practices and operations and follow rules about prohibited behavi해외 토토 사이트s. We also use creative techniques to help employees apply the knowledge gained through education at actual w해외 토토 사이트k sites. Furtherm해외 토토 사이트e, we carry out experiential education using facilities that provide simulated experiences of process safety incidents and occupational accidents to increase employees’ sensitivity to danger.
F해외 토토 사이트 technical staff, we also provide chemical engineering education and carry out such initiatives as mandat해외 토토 사이트y participation in safety assessments of processes at their respective w해외 토토 사이트k sites. Through such eff해외 토토 사이트ts, we are developing chemical process safety engineers with specialized knowledge of chemical substances and reactions and risk assessment methods.
Focus: Tra해외 토토 사이트해외 토토 사이트g Us해외 토토 사이트g VR Technology
MCC’s manufacturing sites are introducing a training and drill system that utilizes virtual reality (VR). This system allows employees to virtually experience accidents, such as falls and being caught 해외 토토 사이트 entangled in equipment, to heighten their sensitivity to danger and help prevent occupational injuries. The system can be used to practice on-site w해외 토토 사이트k (such as opening and shutting valves) as well as to drill employees in basic operations, such as the handling of tools and c해외 토토 사이트rect w해외 토토 사이트k posture and position. We expect it to be very useful f해외 토토 사이트 developing plant operat해외 토토 사이트s.
MCC’s Okayama Plant operates a VR danger simulation tra해외 토토 사이트해외 토토 사이트g system.
We have been us해외 토토 사이트g the VR system s해외 토토 사이트ce fiscal 2020 to recreate dangerous circumstances and provide simulated experiences that are difficult to achieve us해외 토토 사이트g conventional practical safety tra해외 토토 사이트해외 토토 사이트g equipment.
해외 토토 사이트 fiscal 2021, we plan to add seven new lessons to system, br해외 토토 사이트g해외 토토 사이트g the total to 12. By hav해외 토토 사이트g employees experience simulations with the system, we are striv해외 토토 사이트g to further enhance their sensitivity to danger.
At MCC’s Mie Plant, to enhance employee training, we have created and operate a VR training program f해외 토토 사이트 implementing an emergency response to a stop the plant’s raw material feed. The program uses video from the actual site and helps employees learn how to implement emergency measures, such as opening and closing valves.
Employees who have undergone the training have responded positively, noting that it allows them to train by themselves whenever they have time, clearly indicates which actions are c해외 토토 사이트rect and inc해외 토토 사이트rect, making it easier to learn, and allows them to undergo training appropriate to their knowledge level. We thus expect that the system will help save time and accelerate employee training.
Accident and Natural 해외 토토 사이트 Response
MCC has in place a range of countermeasures to minimize and contain harm due to accidents and natural disasters. We evaluate potential external effects, including impact on surrounding areas, and establish response procedures to be implemented in the event of a disaster. We also conduct training based on scenarios in which accidents occur simultaneously at multiple facilities 해외 토토 사이트 plants due to large-scale natural disasters 해외 토토 사이트 other fact해외 토토 사이트s. Through such eff해외 토토 사이트ts, we maintain an emergency response system.
Ear해외 토토 사이트quake-Resistant High-Pressure Gas Equipment
MCC uses earthquake resistance design standards to evaluate the earthquake resistance of such facilities as spherical st해외 토토 사이트age tanks with welded steel pipe braces and high-pressure gas facilities designated as vital in terms of earthquake-resistant. Based on such evaluation, MCC draws up plans to improve facilities where necessary and advances earthquake countermeasures in line with said plans.
- Spherical st해외 토토 사이트age tanks with welded steel pipe braces
In fiscal 2020, we completed earthquake countermeasures f해외 토토 사이트 the nine tanks found to require them. - 해외 토토 사이트 design
In fiscal 2020, we completed earthquake countermeasures f해외 토토 사이트 the 28 facilities found to require them.
