[Priority Issue 5]Promote Management of a Healthy Workplace

As the Fujifilm Group believes it essential to ensure that employees can work with energy and remain in good health both physically and mentally at their workplaces, to maintain our position as a leading company by Creating New Value which is stated in our Vision, we have been working to promote employees' health promotion activities focusing on the priority areas such as preventing lifestyle-related diseases and cancers, quitting smoking, mental illness and preventing overwork.

In occupational safety and health, our effort will be directed to ensuring safety at work for our employees by making safety a priority and to implementing absolute compliance with the laws related to safety and health, founded on the belief that “occupational safety is the basis of all business activities.”

Seven Fujifil companies across America brought 817 employees together at multiple venues on April 6 to set a new Guinness World Record for the most people doing air squats for one minute.

In 2014, as part of its MSD* program for employees, Fujifil introduced “Fujifilm Fit,” a health promotion program for its entire US operations which succeeded in reducing injuries and the cost of incidents at work. All participating companies have adopted Fujifilm Fit. As the program spread group-wide, the health examination participation rate for the various business sites increased by 20%, prompting the company to push for a Guinness World Record.

The program offers employees activities in which they can improve their physical and mental health, including group exercise classes to build self-motivation and energy at work. The program will be further disseminated and expanded in scope to maintain sound health and safety in the work environment.

*MSD: Musculoskeletal disorders involve chronic pain in the musculoskeletal system, including the upper and lower back, arms, etc.

As part of Fujifilm's activities to promote employee health, lectures were given by Mr. Tadashi Shiwa, Director of the Fujifilm Health Management Center, who has worked as industrial doctor for the Company for 22 years.

General statistical data on major business corporations show that the fatality rates by type of disease for persons in active employment are 50% for cancer, 25% for myocardial infarction, apoplexy and arteriosclerosis, and 25% for accidents or other causes. The figures were roughly the same at Fujifil before his appointment as director of the center. Based on the findings, Mr. Shiwa implemented detailed guidance on habits to improve health and prevent lifestyle diseases. In particular, he offered clear guidance on smoking, excessive drinking and obesity, which are regarded as being the cause of all types of cancer.

"My goal as an industrial doctor is to reduce fatalities during active employment to as near to zero as possible. With the early detection of cancer, guidance on lifestyle habits that will prevent arteriosclerosis and mental health programs, we will be able to prevent nearly all deaths. Because they work hard and are committed to their work, however, employees find it difficult to make sure they have regular health examinations and treatment at external medical institutions. For this reason, the Center introduced every possible measure, including cancer screenings, guidance on and treatment for lifestyle related diseases, mental health programs, instructions on how to quit smoking, vaccinations and examinations of helicobacter pylori," he said. As a result of these efforts, the number of deaths fell from 10 or more per year 22 years ago to only 1, the result of an accident, in 2016. We succeeded in achieving zero deaths from disease among employees.

His lectures, in which he presented statistics and case studies based on his 22 years of experience, were a great opportunity to renew our awareness of the risk of lifestyle related diseases and the importance of early action. Fujifilm will continue to improve employee awareness through these promotions to promote good health management.
