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.
