For occupational health management, OISHI takes care of employees so that they have good health and hygiene under a good and safe working environment as follows:
- Provide a clean, safe and suitable working environment in accordance with legal requirements, both in the working area and the utility systems. This also includes having an infirmary with nurses on duty to provide primary care in case of injury or illness.
- In case the work area is dangerous and risky, OISHI has taken corrective action at the root cause. But if corrective action is taken, but there are still risks left. OISHI will provide employees with appropriate personal protective equipment.
- Examine the working environment according to its hazards and risks in order to comply with industrial hygiene and legal requirements, including light, noise, heat, and chemicals.
- There are annual health checks and health checks based on risk factors for employees according to hazards or various risk factors to ensure employees' health on a regular basis. This leaves no employees suffering from work-related illnesses. However, if it is found that employees have abnormal health examination results, they will be re-examined and sent for treatment by a doctor, as well as considering changing the nature of their work or improving the working environment/machines to be safer for them.
- There are health promotion activities with a focus on disease prevention for employees, for example, there are activities to encourage employees to exercise and provide proper vaccination against various diseases.
