No major accidents happened for a total of 5.6M of working hours

Safety must be a top priority at all times especially for an industry such as automotive where incidents can be highly fatal. Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC), the official business unit of Mitsubishi in the country, is one of the car brands to thoroughly prioritize safety as it recently achieved a 1000 safe-days milestone last February 26, 2021.

The said milestone shows how MMPC managed to maintain a safe working environment as its employees completed a total of 5.6M working hours with no major or lost time accidents (LTA). LTA are incidents where an employee was involved in an accident resulting in the inability to return to work.

Contributing to MMPC’s success is its Safety Department that continuously put out programs that aim to promote and improve the Japanese carmaker’s working environment and safety habits. Some of MMPC’s Safety Department routines to achieve a safe working environment include carrying out daily safety inspections and 5S activities.

Moreover, safety memorandums are issued on a regular basis to MMPC employees to increase safety awareness. MMPC is also mandating all its employees to attend Basic Occupational Health and Safety training to equip them with the knowledge to maximize safety.

“The Management of MMPC would like to commend its Safety Department team for their proactive efforts in assuring the well-being of all MMPC employees,” said Mr. Mutsihiro Oshikiri, President and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC).

“We also would like to thank our colleagues for their discipline and cooperation to follow all safety guidelines. With this achievement, not only do we maintain a safe working environment but we also generated many cost and work efficiencies that is much appreciated especially at a very challenging time like now.”
