Danger Experience Dojo

Protecting employees from disasters and accidents is an important responsibility of companies. Employee safety supports the stable supply of products and leads to customer trust. We also create peace of mind for our employees and their families, and contribute to the creation of a healthy and safe society.

Based on this belief, one of the Group's company-wide goals is to achieve "zero accidents" that result in lost work time or more. To achieve this goal, Toyohashi Plant established the "Danger Experience Dojo" in 2013, where employees can experience simulated dangers. Using equipment that is actually used in the workplace, we conduct training to reaffirm the dangers of unsafe behavior and unsafe conditions by simulating accidents that have the potential to lead to serious injury.

The Danger Experience Dojo will continue to implement programs that will lead to on-site safety management and evolve employee safety and health management.
At the Danger Experience Dojo, we extract hazards to be experienced from past accident examples and create a "danger experience menu." In particular, getting caught in something is a top priority experience item due to the high frequency of occurrence. We use materials from various parts of the plant as much as possible to create the simulation machines for simulating hazards, and we ourselves create machines that are suited to the work on site.
Currently, it is possible to experience 24 types of dangers in real life and 12 types of dangers in virtual reality (VR). By experiencing the dangers that lurk in the workplace with your own body, you can gain awareness that will change your awareness of safety.

Furthermore, we are making effective use of it in a variety of ways, such as incorporating hazard simulation and VR into the curriculum for local high school students and internship training, and conducting training using actual simulation machines for educating people on equipment structure.
