Safety

Our Commitment to Safety

The premises for a corporation that is trusted by the community include paying sufficient attention to safety.
We are confident that our efforts, initiatives, and time and expenses spent to respect human life must take precedence over all other things. Loss of valuable human life must absolutely be avoided in the process of Toyo and its group companies’ business evolution, such as plant construction.
With the recognition that “safety takes precedence over all other things,” Toyo will continuously implement safety education programs for all its employees to spread awareness of a culture of safety.

Safety in Construction

Oil Refinery Modernization Project in Brazil

Joint venture “ECOVAP,” composed of Toyo, Construtora OAS Ltda., and Setal Óleo e Gás S.A., is constructing an oil refinery plant as one of the refinery modernization projects awarded by PETROBRAS, the largest oil company in Brazil. The plant site is situated in the suburbs of the city of São José dos Campos, about a one hour drive from São Paulo.
As the construction is now at its peak activity, more than 5,000 workers are at the site. The client, ECOVAP, and all the subcontractors are carrying out safety oriented activities with effective mutual communication, with the slogan: “Safety takes precedence over all other things.”

Safety training

Workers receive training for work in closed spaces and high places from outside instructors, under a priority program in both theory and practice.

Safety guard

A safety guard is assigned from a work team every day to keep team members safe.

Education and training

Manpower development programs are implemented with the clients’ cooperation. Through this program, many workers receive education and training to improve their skills.

This project, awarded by Shell Eastern Petroleum (Pte) Ltd., is to construct a world-class complex producing ethylene and related products. The project is implemented by a joint venture of Toyo and CB&I Lummus.
The plant site is located on an island situated about 5 km southeast of the Singapore mainland, or about 20 minutes by ferry. Construction is now at its peak activity with more than 10,000 workers at the site. In addition to top management’s firm commitment, various safety activities are carried out under the safety oriented management system, with the slogan: “Think of safety, act safely.”
