Company-Wide Education

SII headquarters conducts a wide range of environmental programs in three categories: general education, special education and training for internal qualification. We review the programs every year to establish an annual environmental education plan, and request each site to participate in the programs. In FY2008, 119 employees attended the courses held by headquarters, bringing the total number of participants to 2,416. At the completion of the courses, we send out questionnaires to improve the next programs.

In addition to the headquarter programs, each site also conducts unique environmental education programs and enlightening activities.

Training for Emergencies

Through periodic emergency response trainings based on the procedures, employees can review if the procedures are effective, and can practice emergency countermeasures to prevent the expansion of environmental contamination. Furthermore, we also conduct joint training in cooperation with outside contractors who work on SII premises, including tanker drivers who fill our tanks.
