Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the demand for delivery services that deliver food to homes instead of eating in restaurants is increasing, and there are cases where mopeds and bicycles being delivered cause accidents.
For this reason, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the National Police Agency issued a notice on the 26th requesting measures to prevent accidents to groups created at restaurants.
In the notification, be careful by thoroughly implementing "traffic rules" such as pausing at intersections, checking safety, and stopping "distracted driving" while using a smartphone, and grasping cases of "hiyari hat" at work. I'm asking you to call.
In addition, as the number of delivery agency services is increasing, we are also calling on companies that provide so-called "platforms" that connect consumers and delivery staff to take measures to prevent accidents.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, of the occupational accidents that occurred in the last year, there were 114 traffic accidents during delivery, and in terms of age, those under 29 years old account for about 60% of the total.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare said, "I would like you to take every opportunity to give guidance and education to delivery staff, such as during the morning assembly and when you go out for delivery. Accumulation of fatigue and lack of sleep may lead to accidents, so health management of delivery staff I want to call on you to be thorough. "
