`` A social culture that eliminates long working hours '' appealed with overwork death prevention symposium on November 5, 18:11

A symposium was held to consider measures to eliminate death from overwork, and the bereaved family appealed not only to strict laws and regulations but also to creating a social climate that eliminates long working hours.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare holds a symposium every November for the month of preventing overwork death. On the 5th, about 40 people gathered at the venue in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture.

First, the Fukushima Labor Bureau representative explained that the upper limit was introduced to overtime work due to the revision of the law to prevent long working hours. I called for consultation.

And Emiko, the mother of NHK's Sado Miwa reporter, who died of heart failure at the age of 31 at the age of 31 years ago, gave a lecture. The people who operate the system do not relieve, they need strict laws and regulations, but at the same time, adhere to 8-hour work and create a social climate where it is natural to secure sleep and free time. I sincerely hope that those who suffer from the same suffering as us will never appear again. "

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will hold these symposiums in various regions next month.
