Risk management

We work on risk management so that we can respond promptly and appropriately 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

 We are working on risk management by building a risk management system for proper management and operation of the social infrastructure called Expressway and for quick recovery from disasters.

Risk management system

Regarding risks in business execution, the department in charge takes measures, deliberates on risks that have a significant impact on management at the Board of Directors, and establishes a "Risk Management Promotion Committee" in accordance with the PDCA cycle. We support the implementation of risk management.
The committee identifies the most important risks that have a large impact on management, focusing on cross-cutting matters that span multiple related departments, and monitors these items as the main targets.

Disaster prevention work plan and implementation of disaster prevention work

To protect Expressway from disasters such as earthquakes, and to fulfill the social role of Expressway, a "Disaster Prevention Operation Plan" and "Disaster Prevention Operation Implementation Rules" have been established to implement it.
Based on these, information systems are developed and helicopters are used to collect and provide information in the event of a disaster, as well as to ensure safety and recover.
