Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association
Japan's primary occupational safety and health agency is the Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association (JISHA) JISHA is a non-profit organization established under the Industrial Safety and Health Act of 1972. It works closely with the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) the regulatory body, to promote workplace safety and health.
The responsibilities of JISHA include: Providing education and training on occupational safety and health, conducting research and surveys on workplace safety and health issues, offering technical guidance and consultations to businesses, disseminating information and raising awareness about occupational safety and health, and collaborating with international organizations to share best practices and improve global workplace safety standards
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) itself plays a crucial role in overseeing occupational safety and health in Japan. The MHLW is responsible for enforcing the Industrial Safety and Health Act, setting regulations and guidelines, supervising labor inspectors who monitor workplaces for compliance with safety and health standards, and investigating accidents to issuing orders to improve safety conditions.
Additionally, other organizations that play a role in occupational safety and health in Japan include:
