When an occupational accident has occurred or is suspected of having occurred in the Japan Post Group, a report is prepared in a predesignated format and submitted to the head office and other departments responsible for responding. In addition, the matter is reported to the director of the relevant Labor Standards Inspection Office without delay. In addition, the employees involved are interviewed and the incident is investigated to determine the cause, and efforts are made to prevent repeat occurrences by considering improvement measures and disseminating relevant information.
When a serious accident resulting in death occurs, the related departments at the head office work together to conduct an on-site investigation. After analyzing various factors including the cause of the incident, measures are taken to prevent recurrences.

In the event of an occupational accident resulting in an absence from work or similar incident, Japan Post Co., Ltd. will hold a review meeting on site to prevent a recurrence, and at the monthly Safety Measure Council meeting of the branches and head office will analyze the situation that led to the accident, hold a review meeting to discuss measures and take other necessary actions. Japan Post works to prevent the occurrence of similar accidents by having branches and head office to transmit messages about daily activities for attention and individual instructions, depending on the nature of the occurrence or details of the accident. We take preventive measures particularly against single-car accidents outside the premises, which account for a significant proportion of occupational accidents, such as guidance to prevent traffic accidents as well as employee training and requests for inspections for driving in wet weather.
