Zero-accident Total Participation Campaign

Concept of "Zero-accident Total Participation Campaign"

One. The Zero-accident Campaign in practice

The philosophy of the Zero-accident Campaign is to respect human life. Specific safety methods developed so that workplaces can take steps on preemptive action for safety include hazard prediction training and pointing and calling. Activities incorporating these methods in a unified manner are called hazard prediction activities.

One. Hazard prediction training (KYT)

*KYT (K: kiken (hazard), Y: yochi (prediction), T: training)

Using illustrations showing the workplace and work conditions, or while supervising or demonstrating work in real situations on site, discuss in small groups hazardous factors in the workplace and in work conditions (unsafe conditions and unsafe behavior that may lead to industrial accidents or accidents). Discuss, think about, and understand (or ask yourself about) the phenomena (type of accidents) that may arise from such factors, and determine the danger points and the kind of action to take, confirming these with pointing and calling, and pointing and saying out louder together. Conduct this training so that you can take steps on preemptive action for safety before you act.

The hazard prediction training based on the KYT Basic Four-Round Method and short meetings includes the following elements: Operational Direction STK Training on a supervisory level; Individual KY; KY by asking questions; One-point KY on a team level; SKYT; Individual KYT; KYT by answering a self-questioning and answering card; One-person Four-R-KYT; Traffic KYT; KYT through meetings; and KYT by studying past disasters.

*STK (S: sagyo (work), T: team, K: kiken-yochi (hazard prediction))

*SKYT (Short-time KYT)

The KYT Basic Four-Round Method forms the foundation for all these elements. Workers openly discuss the hidden hazards depicted in the illustrations of the workplace and work conditions and solve problems by proceeding through the four rounds step by step.
