【May 2026 Online Training: Foreman Training (with Safety and Health Manager)】Convenient online training schedule released.

I'mSafe LLC provides convenient online training courses for "Foreman Training (with Safety and Health Manager)," which can be taken from inside the company or at home, in accordance with notifications from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

The schedule for May 2026 has been released.

According to Article 60 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act, businesses whose industry falls under the categories specified in Article 19 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act Enforcement Order are required to provide safety and health education to foremen and other persons who directly supervise or direct workers during operations when they are newly appointed to such duties.

Due to the revision of the Industrial Safety and Health Act Enforcement Order, as of April 1, Reiwa 5 (2023), new industries requiring safety and health education for foremen, which were previously exempt, include "food manufacturing (excluding umami seasoning manufacturing and animal/vegetable oil and fat manufacturing, which were already covered)" and "newspaper publishing, publishing, bookbinding, and printed matter processing." Foreman training will be mandatory for these industries.

*Traditional industries covered by foreman training include: construction, manufacturing (partially excluded), electricity, gas, machinery repair, and automobile maintenance.

These industries also require foreman qualifications due to organizational changes.

I'mSafe's foreman training is statutory education mandated by "Article 60 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act."

"Businesses whose industry falls under the categories specified by ordinance are required to provide safety or health education, as stipulated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare ordinance, to foremen and other persons who directly supervise or direct workers during operations (excluding work supervisors) when they are newly appointed to such duties, regarding the following matters."

Furthermore, if a general safety and health manager is appointed, contractors other than the business that appointed the general safety and health manager, who perform the work themselves, must appoint a safety and health manager [Industrial Safety and Health Act Article 16].

In addition, if a person equivalent to a general safety and health manager is appointed at a medium-sized construction site (generally a construction site with 10 to 49 workers), related contractors are requested to appoint a person equivalent to a safety and health manager [Heisei 5 Kihatsu No. 209-2].
