• Consult with your boss, the Health Supervisor, or Safety and Health Promoter, etc. at your company.
• The Health Supervisor or Safety and Health Promoter are people in your company whose job is to make the working environment better. If you are a technical intern, seek advice from your supervising organization or from the Native Language Consultation Center of the Organization for Technical Intern Training (OTIT). (See 4-12). Alternatively, ask a Japanese speaker whom you can trust to help you consult with a Labor Standards Inspection Office*1.
• *1 Labor Standards Inspection Offices are government offices that monitor whether companies are complying with the laws to ensure that their employees can work in good health and with peace of mind. You can use the QR code below to search for a Labor Standards Office in the area where you live. Ask someone who understands Japanese or a Japanese person near you.
