E3 Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tetsuya Onodera; hereinafter 'the Company'), provider of 'Valuspo,' is pleased to announce the start of a collaboration leveraging the strengths of both companies within the 'Elderly Worker Labor Accident Prevention Consulting Package Service' developed by MS&AD InterRisk Research & Consulting, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Takahiro Miyaoka).
In this partnership, the Company will be responsible for 'Physical Risk Measurement and Group Analysis' addressing the 'human risk' of elderly workers, supporting companies in fulfilling their duty of care for safety and promoting health and productivity management.
■ Background: Compliance with the Amended Industrial Safety and Health Act effective April 2026
Currently, the aging of the workforce is progressing at domestic labor sites, and preventing labor accidents among elderly workers has become an urgent issue. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's 'Guidelines for Ensuring the Safety and Health of Older Workers' also require employers to take measures according to the physical functions and job descriptions of elderly workers.
Furthermore, the amended Industrial Safety and Health Act, which took effect in April 2026, makes labor accident prevention measures for elderly workers aged 60 and over a 'duty to endeavor.' In response, MS&AD InterRisk Research & Consulting has packaged and deployed a service menu covering everything from corporate system construction to specific initiatives. Within this, as a solution for the most crucial 'specific initiatives (identifying/recognizing human risk),' the Company will handle the 'visualization of physical risk and data analysis domain,' while MS&AD InterRisk Research & Consulting will handle 'risk assessment and system construction support.' By building a complementary relationship, both companies will jointly provide highly effective labor accident prevention solutions.
■ The Role of 'Valuspo'
Within the service framework of MS&AD InterRisk Research & Consulting, the Company will primarily be responsible for the following areas:
(1) Physical fitness checks for safe and healthy work
Declining physical function due to aging increases the risk of labor accidents such as falls. This service provides measurements considering the characteristics of working elderly people, offering an opportunity to objectively understand their own physical functions.
(2) Physical risk measurement and group analysis
By aggregating and analyzing individual measurement data, the service visualizes the 'physical function risk' of the entire organization. This allows business operators to identify dangerous locations and departments or attributes that should be prioritized for countermeasures.
(3) Promotion of voluntary efforts for physical fitness
Based on the measurement results, the service provides guidance for maintaining and improving the fitness of those with low physical strength and offers advice based on group analysis results, leading to behavioral changes among employees and the prevention of labor accidents.
■ Responding to the FY2026 Age-Friendly Subsidy
The FY2026 Age-Friendly Subsidy is a system that supports efforts to improve the workplace environment and promote health maintenance to prevent labor accidents among elderly workers (aged 60 and over). It is possible to receive support with a subsidy rate of 1/2 (maximum 1 million yen).
In this subsidy program, specific measures that contribute to the actual reduction of labor accident risks, such as physical function checks, exercise guidance, and advice from experts, are targeted. Companies are required to implement effective measures rather than formal ones. Additionally, when applying, it is mandatory to conduct a risk assessment in advance that considers the characteristics of elderly workers and to take measures based on the results. Therefore, risk visualization and countermeasure design based on evidence are important.
Through this collaboration, a system is built to support everything from risk assessment to measure execution in a one-stop manner by linking MS&AD InterRisk Research & Consulting's professional risk assessment with the Company's 'Physical Risk Measurement and Group Analysis.' This enables highly effective implementation that also fits the subsidy requirements.
■ Future Outlook
Through the collaboration with MS&AD InterRisk Research & Consulting, the Company will contribute to the challenge of 'ensuring the safety of elderly workers' faced by many companies using a scientific approach based on data. Furthermore, beyond mere risk management, we will strongly support the creation of an environment where employees can continue to work healthily for a long time (health and productivity management).
