Background of the Heatstroke Prevention Manager Instructor Training Course Implementation

Due to legal revisions enforced in June 2025 (Reiwa 7), businesses are obligated, regardless of industry, scale, or indoor/outdoor environment, to implement heatstroke prevention measures including "establishing a system for early detection," "creating response procedures," and "notifying relevant parties," with penalties for non-compliance.

This applies to work performed for a certain period in environments with WBGT of 28℃ or higher or temperatures of 31℃ or higher, and measures are recommended even if these conditions are not met but there is a risk.

The number of fatalities in Reiwa 7 is on a downward trend, and the amendment to the Industrial Safety and Health Act is believed to contribute to preventing fatal accidents due to severe heatstroke. However, it cannot be said that "we are safe because the numbers are decreasing," and thorough implementation of measures based on the amended ordinance is still necessary.

Furthermore, in March 2026 (Reiwa 8), the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare published the "Guidelines for Heatstroke Prevention in the Workplace," which also presents a new curriculum for labor hygiene education related to heatstroke prevention managers.

Course Features

Recommended for those who:

• Want to increase the number of certified heatstroke prevention managers within their company

• Want to enhance heatstroke prevention measures by having certified heatstroke prevention managers at each site

• Want to prepare lecture materials for in-house education

• Want to conduct in-house education with the new curriculum announced in March 2026

This course is designed to comply with the "Guidelines for Heatstroke Prevention in the Workplace" published in March 2026, aiming to train instructors who can provide heatstroke prevention education to their own company and partner companies, with the goal of eradicating occupational accidents.
