Abstract

The Japanese Government has established the 14th Occupational Safety & Health Program. This five-year program, starting from FY2023, sets goals and priority activities for the government, employers, workers, and other relevant parties, aiming to realize a society where health and safety are assured for all workers regardless of work conditions, including employment pattern, age, the scale of the workplace such as small- and medium-sized enterprises, so that individuals with different work styles can demonstrate their maximum potential. This paper introduces an outline of this program.
