Art Reform's Inaugural Safety and Health Conference in Tokyo

Art Reform, a prominent remodeling company based in Suita City, Osaka, is making significant strides in enhancing safety protocols across the construction industry. On July 1, 2025, the company will host its inaugural Safety and Health Conference at the famous Tokyo Big Sight conference hall. This landmark event will be accessible both in-person and via live online streaming, attracting participants from all over the country. In total, 496 attendees joined—197 on-site and 299 online—marking a significant increase in participation compared to the previous year.

The theme of this year’s conference builds upon Art Reform's commitment to quality, emphasized by their motto, "A Quality," alongside the new safety slogan for 2025: "Let’s Enhance KY Awareness. Build Zero Accidents Together!" After the event, a survey revealed a remarkable participant satisfaction rate of 96%, demonstrating the conference's success in achieving its objectives.

Highlights of the 2025 Conference

This year’s event is particularly special as it marks the first Safety and Health Conference held in the Kanto region by Art Reform. Last year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference took place in Kansai. The decision to expand to Tokyo was made following Art Reform's transition to a dual-headquarters system in June 2025, establishing their Tokyo branch in Shibuya. The primary goal behind this conference is to further enhance safety standards and quality assurance in the capital.

Additionally, an awards ceremony for esteemed collaboration partners was conducted, celebrating those whose safety and health consciousness align with Art Reform’s core philosophies. The awards were determined by votes from all team members involved in remodeling projects, recognizing outstanding partners in different regions of Japan.

Feedback from the attendee survey included:

• - "The conference was smoothly organized and informative."
• - "The awards boosted motivation and heightened awareness towards safety."
• - "The discussion helped clarify how to approach quality improvement and safety management moving forward."
• - "I was reminded of the importance of daily site conditions."
• - "I felt inspired by the clear vision articulated throughout the event."

Understanding the Safety and Health Conference

The construction industry experiences a higher rate of labor accidents compared to other sectors, which necessitates yearly safety and health conferences hosted voluntarily by construction companies. Although such events are not mandated by law, they align with Japan’s Labor Safety and Health Act, aiming to ensure the health and safety of workers and foster a comfortable workplace environment through safety educational initiatives.

Commitment to 'A Quality'

Art Reform has defined a commitment to quality through its 'A Quality' initiative, which focuses on:

• - Effective communication and customer service
• - Integrating high design and quality in its proposals
• - Ensuring a reliable construction management structure for customer assurance
• - Leading by example in adhering to legal standards

In conjunction with this initiative, Art Reform has unified its construction standards nationwide, viewing their remodeling services through the lens of service provision rather than mere construction. Upholding ethical practices and standards, the company has also strengthened its system for verifying construction quality and conducting safety patrols. The annual Safety and Health Conference, alongside monthly updates on safety quality management, provides ongoing engagement for partner companies. Internally, training programs are being enhanced to deepen understanding.

Future Directions

Moving forward, Art Reform will continue fostering safety awareness while striving to provide enriching lives and experiences for all those involved in their remodeling services. Their mission is to transform the remodeling industry into an attractive sector, committed to high-quality service delivery.
