In 2024, what will we tackle regarding ISO 14001 [Environmental Measures VOL.1]?

We will outline a path for companies to become resilient organizations against flooding and provide specific methods to minimize risks. As the rainy season intensifies, are your flood prevention measures sufficient? In "Flood Prevention Measures During the Rainy Season Part 2," we will outline a path for companies to become resilient organizations against flooding and provide specific methods to minimize risks. In Part 1, we explained the recent occurrences of flooding, the use of hazard maps for flood prediction, and securing evacuation routes. In Part 2, we will focus on the types and quantities of supplies needed during a disaster, how to formulate a Business Continuity Plan (BCP), and advanced initiatives. We hope that by sharing know-how for immediate and appropriate responses during disasters, we can contribute to the safety of your company.

ISO 14001 is a standard aimed at building a framework that enables organizations to achieve sound environmental performance by managing the impact of their business activities and the products and services they produce on the environment, in alignment with their own established "environmental policies and objectives." The initiatives can be broadly categorized into four areas: "Understanding Environmental Impact," "Risk Management and Planning," "Operation of the PDCA Cycle," and "Creation of an Environmental Manual." Through these initiatives, organizations can enhance their image and create business opportunities by contributing to environmental conservation. This white paper will introduce environmental changes, disaster cases, and their countermeasures, aiming to assist you in preparing for the acquisition and renewal of ISO 14001. We will publish this white paper monthly with this goal in mind. This time, based on the environmental changes and disaster cases that occurred in 2023, we hope to provide insights that will serve as hints for your acquisition and improvement of ISO 14001 in 2024.

Labor accidents (work-related injuries) refer to situations where workers are injured, become ill, or die due to work or commuting. Specifically, the following situations are included: 1. Occupational accidents: When workers are injured, become ill, or die due to their work. 2. Commuting accidents: When workers are injured, become ill, or die due to commuting. To reduce labor accidents, there exists a medium-term plan that outlines key initiatives for the government, businesses, and workers, and this information is useful for the prevention and countermeasures of labor accidents. Additionally, businesses are required to continue their efforts to ensure a safe workplace environment. This time, we will focus on the most common type of labor accident, falls, and introduce measures for their prevention.
