Seminar Overview

On August 26th, 2025, Funaisoken Logi, one of Japan's largest logistics consulting firms, held an advanced seminar focused on accident prevention in the logistics industry.

Key Topics Covered

The seminar highlighted three primary areas to address pressing safety concerns:

1. Implementing AI Dash Cams for Effective Safety

The introduction of AI dash cameras offers a revolutionary way to prevent accidents. The seminar detailed methods for real-time sharing of hazardous situations and AI scoring, facilitating effective coaching and objective assessments. By allowing drivers to review their performance, proactive improvements can be encouraged, focusing on preventive measures rather than post-incident reactions.

2. Case Studies of Zero-Accident Logistics Companies

Attendees learned from companies that have successfully eliminated accidents by implementing solid prevention strategies. The discussion included topics such as:

- Content of safety meetings.
- Procedures for documenting actions taken in response to incidents.
- Communication techniques with drivers.
- Training sessions focused on risk management (KYT).

3. Building Infrastructure for Accident Reduction

To significantly decrease accidents, it is crucial to provide accurate instruction at the “near-miss” stage. The session explored the necessary organizational structure, the roles and training of managers, and how to create a framework aimed at accident reduction.

Industry Challenges

Upcoming labor hour regulations set to take effect in April 2024 will require the logistics industry to enhance productivity and improve freight negotiations. Accidents present an immense financial burden for companies, further exacerbated by a critical shortage of drivers. Driver turnover due to accidents not only elevates recruitment costs but also tarnishes company reputation.

Given the widespread proliferation of dash cameras and social media, footage of accidents or dangerous driving can quickly circulate, jeopardizing credibility with clients and making driver retention increasingly challenging.

As allocating sufficient time for safety education becomes more difficult, establishing an effective accident prevention management system and mitigating risks becomes paramount.
