As measures to prevent power harassment have been mandated sequentially from next year, an examination to add power harassment to the standard for certifying overwork suicide as an occupational accident has begun at the expert meeting of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare expert conference held on the 17th was attended by psychiatrists and legal experts.
The criteria for certifying mental illnesses such as suicide and depression due to overwork as work-related accidents are currently divided into 36 items such as long working hours and work-related troubles. It is judged.
At the meeting, a policy to add power harassment to the items of this certification standard was shown and approved.
In the future, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will discuss specific revisions of the standards with reference to guidelines that show examples of power harassment that are being developed separately.
Revision of certification standards such as overwork suicide is the first in eight years, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has decided to implement new certifications as companies are required to take measures to prevent power harassment from June next year based on discussions at the Expert Meeting. I want to start using the standards.
