Measures to prevent accidents between workers and forklifts during warehouse operations
We are taking various measures to ensure the safety of employees during warehouse operations.
As an example, to prevent contact between employees working inside the warehouse and forklifts, we have created dedicated partitions to encourage caution and ensure a safe working space.
Additionally, line lights have been fitted to the bodies of forklifts that indicate the direction of travel and vehicle width so that an approaching forklift can be detected even in places where the noise is loud or where there are blind spots. Various measures are taken to prevent accidents.
Collision Prevention Measures for ForkliftsHealth management (medical checkups, stress checks)
Regular health checkups and stress checks are conducted as required by law, and interviews are conducted and recommended as necessary.
Additional health management measures have been implemented to enable employees to continue working in good health by subsidizing the costs of supplementary checkups for lifestyle-related disease prevention, cancer screenings, and influenza vaccinations for employees and their dependents.
At our Chofu headquarters, instructors are regularly invited for CPR training sessions to ensure that anyone can respond appropriately in the event of a medical emergency.
First aid trainingImplementation of occupational safety and health measures
(safety measures for facilities and machines)
To ensure that work in the warehouse is carried out safely, we have entered into maintenance contracts with material-handling equipment manufacturers and group companies employing qualified mechanics for automated warehouses, material-handling machinery installed in warehouses, and forklifts used as transportation equipment. We conduct monthly and annual voluntary and statutory inspections.
Every month, we create posters summarizing key points to prevent accidents and strive for safety education.

In our core business, we operate in compliance with the KRSG Quality Standard, a standard operating manual for order processing, transportation, and cargo handling, to prevent issues such as administrative errors related to orders, transportation problems (wrong delivery and temperature control errors etc.), and warehouse operation issues (product damage and picking mistakes etc.). Our compliance is achieved through collaboration between K. Tis Corporation, which handles transportation functions, K.
