Based on the idea that maintaining and improving a healthy and safe work environment and promoting health for all employees forms the basis of the Company’s survival, the YAMADA HOLDINGS Group works to ensure health and safety at work, creates a comfortable work environment, facilitates job performance and improved productivity, and manages employee health.
YAMADA HOLDINGS promotes occupational health and safety under the supervision of the Board of Directors, and reports monthly to the Board of Directors on the number of occupational accidents and measures taken. In addition, YAMADA HOLDINGS and YAMADA DENKI have established a Health and Safety Committee chaired by managers and held once a month at all business sites. The committee also sets a theme for the year (based on important matters and matters for consultation). Activities and discussions take place around the monthly theme with the results submitted to and managed by the labor section at headquarters.
YAMADA HOLDINGS and YAMADA DENKI have determined priority issues to reduce the number of accidents in the workplace, and are taking various measures, including monitoring and managing work-related accidents. In order to eliminate risks that lead to serious injury etc., the Group has been working to prevent recurrences by preparing unsafe incident reports and examining individual cases. In the event of an accident at work, the Group is obliged to put measures in place at the store concerned and with all relevant parties to prevent the accident from ever happening again. YAMADA DENKI has set a goal of a frequency rate of accidents that require time off work of 0.50 or less. In fiscal 2024, this rate was 0.98.
In addition, YAMADA HOMES conducts safety patrols and provides training, including for subcontractors. YAMADA HOLDINGS will strive to improve levels of safety management throughout the Group.

In terms of physical health, the Group carries out regular health checks for the purpose of preventing lifestyle-related diseases, and carries out specific health guidance based on the results. With regard to mental health, the Group conducts stress tests based on laws and regulations, and works to reduce the risk of mental illness by raising awareness of employees’ own levels of stress. In addition, a sleep improvement program, "Nemuri no Ouendan" developed by NTT PARAVITA has been introduced on a trial basis for employees who wish to improve their sleep through stress checks. YAMADA DENKI also invites occupational health physicians to conduct mental health training twice a year for store managers. Moreover, the Group has established a consultation desk (toll free number) in cooperation with a medical institution so that employees can talk to someone if they need to. Furthermore, in order to gain the right knowledge about mental health and how to handle any issues in case of emergency, life-care training is being provided to employees in managerial roles from occupational health physicians.
As a way to visualize and base the mental and physical health of our employees, we are working to achieve a target of 100% participation in health checkups and stress checks by FY 2031, and the figures are gradually improving for both. We are also aiming to achieve a 100% participation rate in complete health checkups and striving to manage health risks at an early stage.
