BANGKOK – February 17, 2025: Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Labour to Establish a Safety Culture in Workplaces, marking a significant step in fostering a culture of safety in workplaces in Thailand. The signing of the MOU further underscores Mitsubishi Motors Thailand’s dedication to upholding the highest safety standards in its operations while contributing to the Ministry of Labour’s mission to enhance workplace safety across industries in Thailand.

 

Mr. Eiji Ogawa, Executive Vice President of Factory Unit, Mitsubishi Motors Thailand, said,

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to Establish a Safety Culture in Workplaces outlines key objectives aimed at enhancing workplace safety standards nationwide. Under the agreement, the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare (DLPW) will lead a safety campaign, ‘Safety Culture Together,’ aimed at reducing major workplace accidents to fewer than one in 1,000 employees and fatal accidents to fewer than three in 100,000 workers by 2030.

Mitsubishi Motors Thailand is one of the top 18 companies selected to join the program due to its longstanding dedication to, and excellence in safety. It is a large company with numerous businesses and a vast network of supply-chain companies, and has consistently achieved remarkable milestones, including the prestigious 2024 Zero Accident Awards, with its Factory 1 and 2 achieving a record-breaking 55.5 million accident-free work hours.
