Major Material Manufacturer ADEKA Adopts 'LaKeel Online Media Service'

LaKeel Inc. announced that ADEKA Corporation has adopted the video-based education service 'LaKeel Online Media Service' for safety and health training targeting approximately 1,800 employees, including those at five domestic plants and group companies.

### Background of Adoption ADEKA sets four safety guidelines: 'Labor, Environment, Quality, and Equipment,' conducting training tailored to the characteristics of each facility. However, following recurring labor accidents at one domestic production base, the company recognized limits in traditional classroom-based training for fully embedding safety protocols. While in-house production of video materials was considered, the ongoing operational burden of updates and maintenance posed a significant barrier.

Consequently, ADEKA decided to introduce 'LaKeel Online Media Service,' which provides a wealth of professional, short-form animated educational materials, allowing for high-quality, continuous training without maintenance burdens.

### Three Reasons for Adoption 1. Continuous improvement of safety awareness utilizing 'gap time' through 3-minute videos. 2. Realization of site-led, autonomous safety training through flexible operations tailored to facility characteristics. 3. Construction of a system that reduces the operational load of material creation and updates, enabling high-quality safety education.

### Effects After Introduction Since the start of operations, usage has spread to a wide range of departments, centered on manufacturing plants and including group companies. In a survey regarding occupational safety activities at one plant, initiatives including video-based training recorded a high score of 4.09 out of 5 points. Employees reported a dramatic shift from traditional training methods, citing that the content is 'visually and audibly memorable and efficient to learn in gap time.' Furthermore, autonomous learning habits led by the site are developing, such as 'sharing insights and impressions after viewing' via internal bulletin boards and 'creating unique material lists' tailored to departmental characteristics.

### Comments from Mr. Tomiya Hirano, Manager, Environment and Safety Measures Headquarters 'Currently, preventing accidents in non-routine tasks, such as handling unexpected equipment failures, is a more urgent challenge than routine tasks. Moving forward, we aim to leverage 'LaKeel Online Media Service' to expand our own safety education content tailored to our reality, creating an environment where even busy on-site personnel can intuitively understand hazard sources. We are also establishing a system where employees voluntarily view content and learn continuously to raise overall safety awareness.'
