Safety Charter
Komatsu will provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions and follow operating practices that result in an improved safety and
health environment for its employees. Safety standards, both internal and external will be strictly observed in all operations.

Every employee is accountable for following all prescribed safe work practices, procedures and policies. No job will be considered so urgent
– no schedule will be considered so rigid that the time cannot be taken to perform the job in a safe manner.

We hold every manager, every supervisor, and all staff members accountable for exercising their professional management skills in every
reasonable, practical, and timely way to eliminate hazards and to prevent injury to the work force in their charge.

Safety is a condition of employment and must be considered an integral part of every activity in the organization. Management policy is that
the prevention of losses in the work environment is to be treated as any other managerial function. Every manager and supervisor must
