Fostering Safety- Oriented Personnel
Safety Education and Training
JR East elevates the safety awareness and skills of its employees through education and training at the JR East General Education Center in Shirakawa City, Fukushima Prefecture, at general training centers and skill training centers at its regional headquarters, and through on-the-job training in each workplace.

Accident History Exhibition Hall
We have established the Accident History Exhibition Hall within the JR
East General Education Center to provide a place for all employees to
learn about and reflect on the tragedies of past accidents and the major
social responsibility borne by railways.
To raise safety levels across the Group, we are improving safety
awareness among employees through safety education. In relation to
this, we have established the number of attendees at safety education
course at the Accident History Exhibition Hall as a KPI. We will continue
to work as a unified Group to promote employee safety education.

Use of Education and Training Facilities
As one aspect of its efforts to train personnel to respond to environmental change, JR East has established education and training facilities to cultivate an understanding of the essence of work. In addition, at each regional headquarters, it has educational facilities where employees can learn about the background to and countermeasures for serious accidents and events that have occurred previously in individual jurisdictions.
Development of Personnel Responsible for Safety
Even as the structure of work undergoes major changes in line with changes in the environment, we will continue to strengthen collaboration among and develop employees who play core roles in our safety initiatives, including Safety Professionals, Safety Experts and Junior Safety Experts, and Key Safety Leaders, thereby further improving safety throughout the Company. In addition, Safety Storytellers share their own experiences and the background behind current rules and facilities with frontline employees.
Collaboration among people is the core of safety initiatives

Safety Storytellers (Narrators of Oral History)
To educate employees who can share and pass on safetyrelated knowledge, leadership, and technological capabilities within the Company, we have appointed safety storytellers, or narrators of oral history.
