basic information

At the Cosmo Summit, we will propose solutions to address the amendments to the Road Traffic Act. 【Plan 1: Introduction of Alcohol Detectors Only】 This plan involves preparing only alcohol detectors and recording the data in a designated format. While it is a cost-effective solution, it requires more management effort. 【Plan 2: Digitization of Recording Tasks】 In addition to introducing alcohol detectors, this plan involves digitizing the recording tasks. This allows for a reduction in the labor required for managing alcohol checks. 【Plan 3: DX Transformation of Management Tasks】 In addition to digitizing recording tasks, this plan aims to centralize the management of vehicle reservations, driving records, vehicle inspections, and other vehicle management tasks, promoting digital transformation (DX). By centralizing vehicle management, we can streamline management operations.

○Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A) Q. Who is subject to alcohol checks? When should the checks be conducted? A. The checks are aimed at "drivers who are about to drive and drivers who have just finished driving." It is acceptable to conduct checks not only immediately before or after driving but also before starting work, upon arrival, and after finishing work or leaving. Q. What should be done if the safety driving manager cannot check for alcohol presence in person? A. Please confirm the driver's response and tone of voice through methods that allow direct communication, such as cameras, monitors, or mobile phones, along with the measurement results from the alcohol detector. Q. If I am using my personal vehicle instead of a company car during work, does that count? A. Regardless of whether it is a company car, rental car, or personal vehicle brought in, all vehicles used for work are subject to alcohol testing and record-keeping.
