In addition to general measures to prevent industrial accidents that are tailored to their work, foreign workers are also required to receive safety and health training in a way that they can fully understand the content of the training.
On the other hand, because businesses owners employing foreign workers may also be unfamiliar with safety and health management for foreign workers, it is necessary to support them by ensuring there is a consultation system for safety and health management for foreign workers and other measures to prevent industrial accidents involving foreign workers.
Therefore, the Safety and Health Management Consultation Team has been established in the Foreign Residents Support Center to provide consultation services for safety and health management for foreign workers
Please feel free to make use of this service. It is provided free of charge.
In addition, the following former chiefs of the Labor Standards Inspection Office are also available: Chikayuki Koga, Shuichi Komaba, Yoshihiko Nakajima, Atsushi Nakayama, Minekazu Yokokawa
We plan to hold seminars for persons in charge of safety and health management at workplaces that employ foreign workers to explain key points of safety and health management.
Details will be announced as soon as they have been decided.
Experts on safety and health will visit your workplace to check the status of safety and health management, safety and health training, and instructions to prevent industrial accidents for foreign workers, as well as to check problems and provide advice on how to improve them.
We look forward to serving you.
