Infra-Sharing not only reduces costs, but also the material and construction work, as well as electricity consumption, which leads to a lower environmental impact.

We will strive to reduce risks in business by establishing a risk management system that includes not only JTOWER but also partner companies and suppliers in terms of safety in construction and procurement.

Safety and Health Patrols

Efforts to identify risks and hazards at an early stage, eliminate them and take measures to reduce them, prevent equipment accidents and information accidents, and ensure thorough safety awareness among workers in construction work.

Efforts for Safety and Health Patrols

• Check whether there is any risk of disaster at a construction site.
• If confirmed, direct the correction on the spot.
• If ""cannot be implemented immediately,"" the work will be discontinued and countermeasures will be considered as soon as possible.
• Check whether the instructed approaches are actually conducted at Safety and Health Meeting and morning meeting.
• Maintain an appropriate tension and focus in the implementation of on-site work.

Safety Conferences

Efforts to review accidents and complaints associated with construction work, prevent the occurrence of similar problems, share the same understanding of construction safety and aim for safe and high-quality construction.
