Preventive measures

It is said that 80-90% of traffic accidents are caused by human factors (unsafe behavior), and eliminating these unsafe behaviors is essential to preventing traffic accidents. Nippon Express takes measures to prevent traffic accidents, including the "Five Principles" for driving, hazard prediction (KY) activities, and workplace safety patrols.

Measures to prevent recurrence

When an accident or disaster occurs, it is crucial to avoid repeating the same mistakes. Nippon Express is working to prevent recurrence by conducting a "Safety Study Group" aimed at preventing recurrence, as well as by holding training sessions for those who caused the accident, providing on-the-job training by qualified personnel, and reviewing safety work procedures.
