(Construction) - The Japan Association for Construction Human Resources (JAC) will begin providing safety and health education based on the Industrial Safety and Health Act in the native languages of specific skilled foreign workers starting in July.
Initially, this initiative will cover three languages—Vietnamese, English (the official language of the Philippines), and Indonesian—and will include special training on scaffolding and full harnesses, as well as orientation for new employees. By the end of the fiscal year, the program aims to expand to five languages and ten courses. This initiative also targets technical interns employed by companies accepting specific skilled foreign workers.
