Canon positions health and safety at the core of corporate management and believes that: ‘There is no business without safety’. In addition, Canon Medical Systems actively promotes health management based on our ‘Health First’ guidelines, because we have a strong conviction that: ‘A healthy body and a healthy mind are essential to do a good job’.

Canon Medical Systems has established a Central Safety and Health Committee, which formulates central safety and health activity policies and plans, and promotes initiatives that can help prevent industrial accidents, maintain and promote personal health, support traffic safety, fire prevention, and disaster prevention, and create a comfortable workplace. In addition, our labor department and management collaborate to develop and maintain a workplace environment where everyone can function with peace of mind, for example, by incorporating health and safety provisions into employment contracts. Canon Medical Systems Corporation and its domestic group companies have established a safety and health committee at each of their sites. Internationally, we are promoting group-wide initiatives centered on our production bases, which take into account the specific circumstances of each region and company.

To raise awareness and prevent occupational accidents, Canon Medical Systems offers e-learning training to all employees.
Additionally, Canon Medical Systems’ Headquarters in Nasu offers multiple life-saving first-aid training sessions annually.

At Canon Medical Systems Hong Kong Ltd., all engineers are required to attend a basic safety training course (known as the "green card”) provided by the Occupational Health and Safety Management Institute (OSHIM). This green card is valid for three years. After it expires, the engineers must attend training again. With this card, engineers are permitted to enter the construction site.

Once a year, employees receive safety and hygiene training conducted by an external expert specialized in occupational health.

In the event of a work-related accident, we investigate the root cause and implement measures to prevent recurrence through both education and equipment upgrades. Information about any accidents is promptly shared with affiliated companies to avoid similar accidents from occurring again.

We are developing programs for our staff that combine four types of care—self-care, care provided by managers, care provided by industrial health staff, and care provided by external organizations—with mental well-being. We are also developing support mechanisms, including return-to-work programs, and training to improve the skills of human resources and health support personnel in areas such as mental health.

Canon Medical Systems' stress check participation rate has maintained a high level, reaching 97% in 2024. For individuals with high levels of stress, we offer personalized support, including health consultations and interviews with industrial physicians. Additionally, we distribute a ‘health report’ that shows the health status of each division based on group analysis, and we hold meetings with individual staff members in their workplaces. We are also focused on providing mental health training for managers, enabling them to offer additional support to their teams within the workplace.
We conduct stress checks and follow-up for Japanese employees assigned overseas, just as we do in Japan, and work with local human resources personnel to implement mental health measures.

Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc. implements the following measures to address the mental health of its employees.

1) Prevention methods:
Mental health support is provided through Lyra, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider. Lyra offers online resources, coaching, and therapy sessions. Webinars are held twice a year on mental health topics.

2) Dealing with people with mental health issues:

Return to work after mental health-related leave is discussed individually with the legal and HR business partners and managers.
