Safety and life come first before anything.

Efforts to prevent traffic and work accidents.

Safety Measures

The Kanda Group is making active efforts to prevent traffic and work accidents.


A quality and safety management office is established in KANDA HOLDINGS Co., Ltd that oversees the Kanda Group, and various training sessions for the prevention of accidents and disasters are provided at our education and training venue in Ashikaga City in Tochigi Prefecture to raise safety awareness among employees.


In addition, we have a program to train our own certified safety advisors (onboard instructors). Managers who have completed professional trainings, including practical skills, are certified as safety advisers, and accompany the driver to provide instructions mainly on driving techniques and driving manners. We also hold contests hoping that these efforts will be effective in preventing future accidents.


The frequent occurrence of serious truck accidents has recently become a social issue. While appropriate management of operation has become an urgent task for the land transportation industry, the Kanda Group ensures that operation managers are properly allocated, and face-to-face roll-calls are implemented. In addition, under the slogan of “never drink and drive”, we have developed an alcohol check system for all drivers in the Kanda Group who are behind the wheel.

Dash 21

“Dash 21” all-hands activity in small groups
Since 1995, the Kanda Group is implementing an all-hands activity called “Dash 21”, in which employees form small groups to work for quality improvement.

5S Activity

The target of the 5S Methodology (Sort, Set, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain) is to develop a comfortable and safe work environment. Thorough implementation of 5S at the workplace will contribute to the improvement of efficiency and quality. The Kanda Group has designated the 10th of each month as a day to check the 5S, and this activity is carried out in every office.
