Unwavering safety in transportation

For rookie drivers of the Rissyo Group, we conduct thorough education whereby they must repeat practical training on 50 items that covers from understanding the structure and physical properties of their vehicles to loading and unloading work, and we never let them be on duty as driver alone for at least three months. Even for our veteran drivers, we have them maintain high technical level by periodically conducting safety patrols and having instructors ride with the drivers for tours in order to prevent accidents that may occur due to "being too used to the work".
We share information of dangerous places along service routes with the idea of "being cautious, alert and fearful", and work to improve our ability to predict danger and raise awareness through "KYT ? Kiken (Danger) Yochi (Prediction) Training". Our vehicles are also equipped with a drive recorder to monitor their operation condition, and actual video clips of being "fearful and alert" are made available to the employees as training materials for the KYT.

Ensuring safety in loading and unloading

In order to ensure that 20 items of loading and unloading procedures are conducted without fail, we practice the "pointing and calling" program. By checking items one by one, we eliminate errors.
In addition, we always work under the assumption that an emergency could happen at any time while loading and unloading, therefore, we actively participate in (neutralization) training drills to minimize leakage, should they occur, as well as in joint disaster management training programs that sponsored by consigners and the fire department. Even for feeling of being "fearful and alert" during work at the customers' yard, we make efforts to prevent human error by discussing the opinions from our staff members on site.

Offering solutions for transport of a wide array of goods

Through its long-nurtured unique know-how, the Rissyo Group provides transport services for goods from inorganic chemicals to various hazardous materials, organic chemicals, and high-pressure gas. We deliver our customers' goods in any volume that meets their request; from 4t-tank trucks to ISO tank containers, and from cylinders to drums for goods in a small lot.
Besides chemicals, we also deliver your goods carefully from general cargo to food products.

Meeting the needs of round-the-clock transportation

Our wish is to cordially deliver what our customers need, when they need it, to where they need it. The Rissyo Group has constructed an original approach to logistics in order to respond to the various needs of our customers, and now responds to these needs quickly and flexibly.
For example, we respond appropriately to emergency orders from customers in the late night or early morning hours. Should the occasion arises, each department coordinates to find a driver and the products would be delivered in a speedy manner. As a company responsible for transport of chemicals, we believe it is our duty to respond to our customers' needs under any circumstances, 24 hours a day.

Eco-driving that takes environmental impact into account

We have set improvement of fuel efficiency as a main management objective for our basic environmental policy. Not only deploying fuel efficient vehicles in compliance with environmental standards, we have also installed digital tachographs (a device that records the activities of a vehicle) on all of our vehicles. Thanks to this, we can now strictly manage drivers by recording driving situations at all times, including the vehicle's speed, the number of sudden accelerations. Combined with training courses on fuel-efficient driving, all of our drivers are promoting "eco-driving".
In addition, we have introduced cool storage air conditioners and thermal storage heating mats in the drivers' seats so that even during the hot summer and cold winter, drivers can always turn their engines off while they are waiting or on break.

Obtaining the Green Management Certification

In order to promote management that takes the environment into consideration, we have obtained the Green Management Certification at each office of the group clearfix. We have constructed a system to promote environmental protection within the company, and the Environmental Promotion Team led by the personnel responsible for environmental protection promotes:

• The introduction of low-emission vehicles, and diesel cars that meet the latest regulatory requirements.
• More stringent inspection and maintenance of vehicles based on legal inspections.
• Implementation of eco-driving such as turning engines off when vehicles are idle.
• Appropriately processing discontinued vehicles and waste in order to promote recycling.

We are making efforts to reduce environmental impact by setting specific numerical goals to be reached in relation to the above items promoting green management.
*What is green management?
A system to certify transportation companies that actively make efforts to reduce environmental impact and protect the Earth's environment based on the management promotion manual created by the Foundation for Promoting Personal Mobility and Ecological Transportation.

Education for new employees

The Rissyo Group regards education for new employees as important in order to nurture suitable personnel.
Our rookie drivers receive training on various matters from the education about the structure and physical properties of their vehicles, CS, to practical operations. The training can be roughly divided into six stages below.

1. Individual safe driving guidance based on the attendance at NASVA
   * classes for new drivers
2. Education of CS
3. Education of physical properties
4. Education of maintenance and inspection
5. Practice of pointing-and-calling
6. Education of operation procedures

Aiming to acquire technical knowledge of more than 50 items through this program, a training period of at least three months, from the basics to the advanced, is provided for their genuine advancement.
Having finished these curricula and successfully passed a subsequent driving test that is accompanied by instructors and a safety manager, drivers will finally be deemed safe to be on duty on their own.
