Free Online Seminar: Expert Kunio Okada to Discuss Points for Preventing Workplace Accidents Among Elderly Workers

Well-I Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Noriteru Hayashi) will hold a free online seminar titled 'Preventing Industrial Accidents Among Elderly Workers: Essential Measures for Companies' for human resources, general affairs, and health management staff.

This seminar provides a systematic explanation of the measures companies must take for elderly workers, covering everything from institutional understanding to practical application, based on the 'Guidelines for Preventing Industrial Accidents Among Elderly Workers' implemented in April 2026.

## Background
With the progress of a declining birthrate and aging population, the number of workers aged 65 and over continues to rise, making the utilization of elderly labor an important management issue. Simultaneously, there is a strong demand for responses to industrial accident risks associated with aging, such as falls and back pain.

The guidelines implemented in April 2026 clarify specific responses operators should take, including:
- Grasping the health and physical condition of elderly workers (fitness checks)
- Employment measures according to conditions
- Improvement of the workplace environment

However, many on-site are unsure where to start or how to utilize fitness checks. This seminar offers hints for solving these challenges through expert knowledge and practical case studies.

## Seminar Features
- Expert Institutional Explanation: Kunio Okada, a leader in 'Health Management,' explains the latest guidelines and corporate response concepts.
- Direct Practical Application: Beyond institutional explanations, the seminar covers actionable, site-ready measures.
- Learning through Case Studies: Real-world examples of fitness testing and workplace improvements implemented by Well-I will be shared.
