JISHA has contributed to the development of economy, industries and companies and the creation of affluent society as a promoter of occupational safety and health activities for more than half a century with close cooperation with the government and industries. In addition, we have various members as nationwide economic organizations, various industry associations and occupational accident prevention organizations by industries, labour standards association of each prefecture, etc. We have strongly appealed "safety first" in corporate management for all industries in our country and we have disseminated and realized it.

In order to grow and develop economy and industry and to be healthy and happy not only for workers but for each citizen, activities aiming at zero accident are necessary. In order to create a workplace where everyone can work safely and with good physical and mental health, it is necessary for us to make every effort to enhance voluntary safety and health activities focusing on strengthening on-site capabilities under the strong leadership of the top management.

Based on such recognition, JISHA supports the safety and health activities of companies and workplaces by making full use of the extensive knowledge and experience on occupational safety and health, which we have cultivated up to now, and high technical capabilities, to prevent occupational accidents and promote the workers' health.

We look forward to your continued understanding and support for JISHA.

President's Message

JISHA is a professional organization related to occupational safety and health, whose purpose is to promote safety and health activities carried out by business owners and prevent occupational accidents in order to protect the safety and health of working people.
Our management philosophy is “Safe work and safe life for all workers ~Safe Work, Safe Life~”.

JISHA was established in 1964 as a central organization for occupational safety and health based on the Industrial Accident Prevention Organization Law. Since the year 2000, with the national administrative reform, JISHA has aimed to become financially independent under its public mission. This year marks the 60th anniversary of our rebirth as a “special private corporation” that continues to grow sustainably while balancing public interests and profits.

For more than half a century, we have functioned as a bridge between national policies and workplaces, in line with the national occupational accident prevention plan, and have worked to promote voluntary safety and health activities at workplaces. We have actively developed various detailed services and campaigns related to accident prevention and have supported the creation of safe, healthy, and comfortable workplaces.

In recent years, while science and technology, including IT technology, has made significant progress, our daily lives continue to undergo major changes, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Amid such transformations and against the backdrop of diversifying values, an increase in the number of elderly workers, and a worsening labor shortage, workplace environments and work styles, accompanied by new legal systems, are changing.  Occupational safety and health are required accordingly.

At JISHA, we deepen our cooperation with the government, grasp trends in occupational safety and health in a timely manner and respond to them while constantly updating the content of safety and health training in order to lead and support companies, workplaces, and the people who work there. We provide a variety of information, including from overseas, as well as suggestions for activities and methods that will help develop human resources through seminars, reduce occupational accidents, and improve safety and health standards.

From now on, we will continue to innovate and update our services to prevent occupational accidents with a strong sense of mission and continued growth. We will continue to engage in health and safety activities for all stakeholders, including workers, business owners, students and researchers. Furthermore, we will strive to help improve the safety and health standards of the country.
