Mr. Shimada

In the lecture, “he explained how to avoid human errors in the Shika Nuclear Power Station, showing experiences learned from construction of Unit No.2, as follows.
○ Hokuriku Electric Power Co. promotes company-wide safety activities under the President' message “we make it top priority to ensured safety.” This message is placed everywhere at our workplace so that all employees can see it. Our stations develop operation policies in light of this concept. In particular, we conduct an action to prevent human errors that are said to account for 70 % of all troubles.
○ During a regular inspection, we develop a simple mistake-fighting campaign while conducting the KY action (risk prediction) focusing on “water leakage,” a great contributor to troubles. In addition, in order to vitalize workplace activities, we are trying to enhance our plant identification and improve voluntary maintenance activities, using a method of TPM developed by the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance.
○ Considering troubles associated with construction of Unit 2, we found the necessity of eliminating labor disasters. A total of 1.53 million persons have been involved in this construction program. 11 disasters that cause a day or more leave have occurred. For this reason, we have created a group for voluntarily promoting safety and health, and are now developing aggressive safety management activities such as study sessions, acquired qualification and safety pre-review.”

Introduction of Activities to Create a Safety Culture and Exchange of Opinions
|
In this exchange session, Mr. Masahiro Kimura, a senior engineer, Nuclear Production Division, Hitachi Ltd., gave a detailed presentation on “field education for preventing the reoccurrence of past trouble cases and ideas and methods for the education” selected as a good practice in a peer review conducted for Hitachi, requested by CRIEPI.
|
Following are some excerpts of the main exchanges of information and opinions:
| ● |
How do you embody disaster demonstration in your education program, although I think it difficult to conduct the education in terms of human resources? |
| ○ |
We do it for all employees about four times a year, spending about an hour in one demonstration. |
| ● |
Too many items for a check sheet could lead to a routine checking. How do you use the check sheet in a more effective manner? |
| ○ |
No excess of the items provides a good practice. We always review the number of the items and carefully select items with higher importance. |
