Hitachi GST implements a comprehensive management system in order to ensure effective safety and health performance. The Hitachi GST Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHS MS) establishes a common process and methodology for implementation of OHS throughout our global operations. The focus of the management system is to identify potential areas of risk or opportunities for improvement within the company and to ensure action plans are implemented to mitigate the risk with a focus on continual improvement. Our internal management system coupled with our periodic OHS measurements and oversight/audit processes ensure our operations maintain the highest levels of OHS performance.

Hitachi GST's Occupational Health and Safety Manual provides consistent direction and guidance for the implementation of OHS programs within our operations. The OHS Manual establishes our global standards, processes and practices. The purpose of our internal OHS standards is to ensure that processes are developed and maintained in a consistent and effective manner across all of our operations. The internal standards are meant to reflect best practices within our industry and the latest developments within the field.
