2.Safeguarding health and safety
Companies should provide a safe, secure, and healthy working environment for all of their members, which protects their physical and mental well-being. Being healthy, feeling safe and having a sense of security are arguably essential human needs. “To be healthy” means not merely the absence of disease or injury, but to live energetically in good physical and mental condition. A safe working environment with open communication is required to ensure workers feel secure and make the most of their abilities.
Our Commitment
- Reflecting our founder, Konosuke Matsushita’s, strong belief in the spirit of “valuing our employees”, we strive to provide workplaces where all Panasonic members can work safely in good physical and mental health. We have established frameworks to promote health, safety and mental wellbeing and to identify potentially hazardous and harmful aspects of our work environment. We conduct risk assessments, and systematically make improvements based on the results. We provide structured education and training to advance these goals.
- We comply with the laws and regulations applicable to work hours and holidays and endeavor to appropriately adjust the work hours and work content so that employees can maintain good physical and mental health and live a healthy lifestyle. (See also Respecting Human Rights)
- In addition to providing Panasonic members with any required medical health checks, we also provide opportunities for Panasonic members to learn more about achieving better physical and mental health.
My Commitment
- I perform my work safely in accordance with the internal rules and procedures applicable to my work.
- If I notice any hazardous or harmful work activities, equipment, or area in the workplace, I immediately report it to my supervisors or persons responsible and request appropriate measures be taken without leaving the problem unresolved.
- I actively participate in the activities and educational training necessary to maintain and enhance workplace safety, and I welcome and encourage communication in the workplace to enhance personal health and mental wellbeing.
- f I notice a health or safety risk that I cannot immediately resolve by myself, I make a report to those responsible for health and safety or raise a concern, so that action can be taken to reduce or remove the risk. (See also Reporting or raising concerns)
- 【For Leaders】 I take effort to maintain and improve the workplace environment so that my team members may work in a safe and healthy manner. I set appropriate goals for my team, properly communicate with my team members, listen to their opinions, and strive to increase their motivation to make full use of their abilities.
- 【For Leaders】I observe my team members’ work hours to ensure they are not working excessive hours beyond applicable legal limits or disguising, or under-reporting, their actual working hours.
