Overall 2010 European winning entry from TMMP
Led by our top management, the fi rst children’s safety
drawing competition was held in FY10. The competition – to
create a drawing based on the theme of safety at home, at
school, crossing the road or parents at work, was open to
children of Toyota members. This created the opportunity for
debate on safety within the family. A total of 189 entries from
children across Europe were received.
Health and Safety at Production Sites
Our single event LTI rate has increased. Careful in depth
analysis revealed that much of this increase is due to the
need to be reactive and the diffi culty of identifying hazards
when confronted with rapid and frequent changes in our
production environment.
Considerable work has been undertaken to minimise this
increase, including reinforcing the importance of planning
and proactive safety management as well as encouraging
active involvement of all our stakeholders. STAR (Stop Think
Act Review) is a pocket-sized guidebook introduced at TMUK
and used in the production environment to help members
identify hazards when preparing for new or unusual tasks.
This initiative has now been shared with other plants.
(1) No comparable automative manufacturing industry benchmark data could be found by TME.
The changing economic environment has
presented Toyota with many challenges for
safety management throughout our operations
over the past year. We have not only taken on
these challenges but also continued to improve
our core safety management activity.
Toyota is fully committed to achieve and maintain
a safe and healthy working environment for all its
members. The offi ce and workshop ergonomics
project, organised by the Health & Safety team
demonstrates this commitment.

TPCA was included for the first time in FY07.
During our annual summer shutdown a large number of
contractors come to Toyota plants to support planned
maintenance. Such a high level of activity at one time can
present many safety challenges. To recognise special effort and
to encourage safety kaizen, TMMF introduced a “Safety Trophy”
award system. Throughout the shutdown, contractors were
evaluated on a daily basis to fi nd the best examples of proactive
safety management and work area tidiness. From the daily
winners an overall winner was selected and a special presentation
was made in September by TMMF senior management.
