Environment, Occupational Health and Safety (EOHS) Policy

As a supplier of medical devices, we recognize the value of life and the importance of protecting the environment.
All employees are required to work with passion and commitment toward a safe and efficient work environment.

ISO14001
(Environmental management system)

OHSAS18001
(Occupational safety and health management system)

We have acquired certification under the international standards ISO14001 for environmental management systems and OHSAS18001 for occupational safety and health management systems, and are proactively engaged in relevant activities.

Code of Conduct

We fulfill our commitments.

We not only observe the laws and regulations of national and local government regarding EOHS in a law-abiding spirit, but also establish self-managed quantitative values based on industry self-management standards and other agreed arrangements.

Specific measures Corrective and preventive actions are taken periodically based on compliance evaluations of each corporate section.

We participate.

In order to implement our EOHS policies, all MANI employees participate in sustaining and improving the management system to promote safe and efficient workplaces.

Specific measures We conduct full-participation activities such as installation of near-miss comment boxes and regular workplace gatherings.

We disseminate.

We familiarize all members with our EOHS policies. We also disclose our policies to our neighbors, stakeholders and others outside the firm when needed.

Specific measures In order to raise awareness of EOHS, we have created a card printed with our Action Guidelines which all employees can carry with their ID cards.

We maintain.

We establish and maintain EOHS systems with the participation of our top management team. We clarify the locus of responsibilities and conduct appropriate management review to facilitate continuous improvement.

Specific measures Continuous improvement activities are performed by checking work sites periodically and performing PDCA.

We carry out relevant activities.

In order to promote activities for environmental and occupational safety and health management, we define clearly the specific purposes and targets, and pursue appropriate activities to achieve them.

Specific measures We set up EOHS committees, each of which works towards its own specific purposes and targets. The committees consist of employee representatives, industrial physicians, health administrators, safety sub-officers, and the members of facility subcommittees, fire control subcommittees, health subcommittees, and road safety subcommittees.

We strike a balance between needs.

Across our activities, from R&D and manufacturing to sales, we work to achieve comprehensive development, balancing the needs of customers with elimination of waste, prevention of environmental pollution, and labor health and safety.

Specific measures We implement activities to satisfy both EOHS and customer needs by introducing EOHS-conscious design processes from the early stage of development.
