Measures to prevent falls and occupational accidents due to the decline in physical functions of older workers.

We will organize measures for preventing occupational accidents for older workers, taking into account the response from the Labor Standards Inspection Office, for practical staff!

If workplace accidents continue, the Labor Standards Inspection Office (Labor Standards Bureau) may request the submission of corrective or improvement plans. In particular, in companies where accidents related to the decline in physical functions of older workers, such as falls, back pain, tripping, and dizziness, are increasing, traditional alerts and improvements to the work environment may not be sufficient to prevent recurrence. In fact, there are cases where companies are asked by the Labor Standards Bureau to participate in explanatory meetings due to the lack of reduction in workplace accidents, and specific time for explanations regarding measures for older workers may be allocated. During these sessions, while physical fitness checks and understanding of physical functions are considered obligations, they may also be explained as important measures that companies should undertake. When requested by the Labor Standards Bureau for corrective or improvement plans, it is important not to simply state "We will be more careful in the future" or "We will strengthen safety education." *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
