Health Maintenance and Promotion Activities
Based on the idea that it is important for companies to promote and maintain the good health of employees, KYOCERA Document Solutions has established Health Management Offices at five business sites in Japan, to provide employees with health guidance and counseling by industrial physicians and public health nurses. In an effort to promote the health of all Group employees, we also provide health information via in-house magazines, and hold mental health training seminars by hierarchical level.
In accordance with laws and regulations, we provide an annual health checkup for all employees. The health checkup participation rate is 100%. In cooperation with the KYOCERA Document Solutions Health Insurance Society, we conduct a "lifestyle-related disease checkup" for employees who have turned 30 years old and those who are 35 years old or older, to ensure that target employees receive lifestyle-related disease checks in addition to statutory check items. This program aims to ensure early detection of lifestyle-related and other diseases and to encourage young employees to pay more attention to their own health.
In an effort to promote early detection and treatment of diseases, we provide large intestine checkup and gynecology checkup programs. In 2010, we introduced the PSA test. We will continue to strive to promote the health and wellness of all employees.
On August 30, 2010, the Second Health Seminar was held in the large meeting room at the Tamaki Plant, attracting about 80 participants. The rate of positive test results in the periodic medical checkups of the Tamaki Plant employees had been increasing; hence the seminar was organized with the aim of curbing the increase in the positive-test result rate.
The theme of the second seminar was "Diet and Exercise for Preventing Lifestyle-related Diseases." In the seminar, a nationally registered dietitian advised participants to walk 10,000 steps per day and eat a balanced diet. Participants listened earnestly to the dietitian's explanation to the effect that along with stopping smoking, diet was a crucial factor in preventing cancer. We will continue to organize events that help promote the health of our employees.
We provide various support services for employees to help them maintain their health. For example, individual guidance is provided after health checks, and when necessary, employees are introduced to medical specialists.
Furthermore, in addition to disease management by industrial physicians, lifestyle guidance is provided by public health nurses to help employees prevent or control metabolic syndrome. Public health nurses provide expert advice on diet, exercise, relaxation and other lifestyle best practices. As part of efforts to prevent lifestyle-related diseases and metabolic syndrome, we also hold health seminars for employees.
The use of automatic external defibrillators (AED) by non-medical personnel was permitted in 2004. Accordingly, the KYOCERA Document Solutions Group has installed AEDs at each of its plants and offices with more than 50 workers. AEDs are installed at locations so as to be accessible within five minutes from any place in the plant or office. We also hold in-house AED training seminars instructed by first-aid instructors* with the aim of ensuring that all employees are able to perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation properly. All the employees working at the Headquarters have completed the AED training seminar. Our plants and offices hold an AED training seminar in conjunction with an emergency drill.
*First-aid instructors: Persons certified by fire-fighting organizations to promote and teach about first-aid treatment
