Quality・Safety Management

Based on our mission as a metals recovery and refining corporation with a long history, Matsuda Sangyo sells EcoPGC-grade potassium gold cyanide that is produced from 100% recycled gold (Au) to reduce the burden on the Earth’s environment. EcoPGC-grade potassium gold cyanide is certified to be made from 100% recycled gold through validation of Matsuda Sangyo’s production processes by the evaluation body. Going forward, we will continue to expand our production of eco-series precious metal compounds.  

As the business activities of our corporate group can involve danger, we take extreme care with safety. By ensuring safe operations, we strive to secure the safety and peace of mind our communities and employees, as well as maintain and improve the sustainability of our business and our corporate value.

In addition to conducting company-wide safety and health management courses (irregular) implemented by the Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association,  the production departments also formulate and implement safety and health plans every year. Additionally, we have established a Safety and Health Committee to work on maintaining and improving occupational safety and health. Each factory implements a wide range of educational and training courses regularly, such as “Disaster Readiness Morning Assembly,” “Disaster Readiness Training,” “Emergency Response Training,” and “Emergency Lifesaving Course” to learn about artificial respiration and cardiac massage.

Employees form a Self-Defense Fire Brigade at each factory, and it is customary to participate in the Self-Defense Fire Brigade Training Meet organized by the Saitamaseibu Fire Bureau . Disaster readiness training based on the theme of fires are conducted in a more practical manner with guidance from the Iruma Fire Station.

At the Sayama Business Operation Center, we conduct disaster readiness training and various other training programs once a year. In FY2021, the joint training with Sayama City Fire Station was cancelled as a precautionary measure during the COVID-19 pandemic. In February 2022, evacuation training was carried out mainly for the Self-Defense Fire Brigade at the Business Operation Center, in order to verify safe behavior in the event of an earthquake or fire. In addition, fire drills and workshops conducted with the cooperation of the fire department are also implemented basically every year.
