Translated from 日本語 • View original Hello.
I am an outfield of human resources who protects the safety of my three children at home and the safety of ISAO members at work.
Suddenly, does your company have a safety and health committee?
What is a safety and health committee in the first place?
The Industrial Safety and Health Act requires workplaces that meet certain standards* to establish a safety committee, a health committee (or a safety and health committee that combines the two committees).
*What are certain standards?
Safety Committee 1. Workplaces with 50 or more workers who use it all the time and fall under the following industries > Forestry, mining, construction, and some industries of the manufacturing industry (wood and wood products manufacturing, chemical industry, steel industry, metal products manufacturing industry, transportation machinery and equipment manufacturing), some industries of the transportation industry (road freight transportation, port transportation industry), automobile maintenance industry, machinery repair industry, cleaning industry
2.Workplaces with 100 or more workers who use it at all times and fall under the following industries: > Industries other than 1 in the manufacturing industry, other than 1 in the transportation industry, electricity, gas, heat supply, water, communications, wholesale and retail of various products, wholesale and retail of furniture, fittings, etc., fuel retailing, inn business, golf course industry
Health Committee Workplaces with 50 or more workers (all industries)

ISAO's Safety and Health Committee
ISAO has established a Safety and Health Committee that integrates the Safety Committee and the Health Committee.
Its members are hygiene managers, human resources, and employee representatives.
The frequency of meeting the committee is once a month.
Of course, Dr. Ito, a macho industrial physician, participates every time and is active in his activities.
We have also formulated a Goal to revitalize safety and health activities.
The current goal is to "take root a culture of lively work".
This Goal is shared with all ISAO members using Goalous.
What do you do?
ISAO's Safety and Health Committee Flow
Safety and Health Committee → Workplace patrols → Interviews with industrial physicians are conducted every month.
Understanding Working Hours at the Safety and Health Committee
We use Microsoft Power BI to track working hours.
By the way, until a few years ago, I was managing it in Excel, and at that time it really took a long time to tally every month.
Currently, only data is extracted from the attendance system and uploaded to the server. We plan to automate this part in the future.
It looks completely different, easy to understand, and really easy to manage.
The contents of the check are:
・Confirmation of members who have a lot of overtime + rest time ・Confirmation of members who have exceeded 45 hours ・Confirmation of tardiness and early departure, etc.
We are doing it.
We conduct interviews with members who pay attention to their attendance with members of the Safety and Health Committee and with industrial physicians.
Workplace Inspections
In workplace patrols after the Safety and Health Committee,
- Check around the kitchen
- Check the refrigerator
- Confirmation of the office environment
I mainly do it.
For matters that need improvement, improvements will be carried out mainly by committee members.
The content is also shared with all members using Goalous actions.

Interview with an industrial physician by Dr. Ito
Interviews with Dr. Ito, an industrial physician, are conducted for members who work long hours or are mentally ill.
From April onwards, we will further lower the standard for long working hours and decide on the target of the interview.
Conducting Regular Health Checkups
Health checkups are conducted in-house every year.
Thanks to in-house health checkups and subsequent support, the attendance rate has been maintained at 100% for the past few years.
Last year, we used Mamoru Biz to enhance the optional test for health checkups.
Employees can take optional tests just by scanning the QR code, and companies that conduct health checkups can bill ISAO all at once, and ISAO can work to promote the health maintenance of employees. Of course, it will be held again this year.

Conducting Stress Checks
We also conduct stress checks every year.
The results of the stress check group analysis are also shared in Power BI and Goalous.
This year's ISAO stress check results were better than the national average for all projects.
Implementing the Flu Shot
About three years ago, I started in-house flu vaccinations.
Reservations for the implementation of this vaccination using Mamoru Biz.
As mentioned earlier, employees can make an appointment for vaccination by simply scanning the QR code.
This year, 60% of our employees were vaccinated. This season, we have carried out two in-house vaccinations.
Considering Health Goods
The Safety and Health Committee also discusses health goods.
Health goods that we wish to have in the company are considered and purchased by the committee.
ISAO has introduced massage chairs, abrollers, balance discs, etc.
Members training with health goods
Conclusion
ISAO's safety and health activities were introduced.
The Work Style Reform Act, which came into effect in April this year, also requires "mandatory objective understanding of working hour conditions" and "strengthening the functions of industrial physicians."
ISAO continues to grow by streamlining safety and health activities and improving various issues while using its own services.
