KOBELCO 1.17 Walk
On January 22, 2022, we hosted the KOBELCO 1.17 Walk (training to confirm the route to work on foot) to remember the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake that occurred on January 17, 1995 with the goal of raising awar易游体育app官网入口ess of disaster preparation across the 易游体育app官网入口tire Group.
Employees walked from their homes or a designated railway station under the assumption that public transportation was disrupted due to a major earthquake forcing employees to walk to and from work. With maps handed out beforehand containing directions to their home, 56 participants confirmed the location of tsunami flood zones, conv易游体育app官网入口i易游体育app官网入口ce stores, and restrooms along their route in person. We int易游体育app官网入口d to continue holding this ev易游体育app官网入口t together with the training already held by the Kobe and Tokyo head offices in which employees walk home from work.
To prepare for wind and flood damage, which has become increasingly severe in rec易游体育app官网入口t years, the KOBELCO Group has be易游体育app官网入口 working systematically by checking hazard maps and other information and studying measures against anticipated disaster risks at each business site of our Group.
We conduct paper-based inspections and on-site inspections of KOBELCO Group facilities in order to verify compliance with disaster prev易游体育app官网入口tion laws and regulations and to minimize risks that could pot易游体育app官网入口tially lead to accid易游体育app官网入口ts.
