At each workplace of the scale specified by Cabinet Order, an employer must establish a health committee in order to have it investigate and deliberate on the following particulars and state its opinion to the employer:
事業者は、政令で定める規模の事業場ごとに、次の事項を調査審議させ、事業者に対し意見を述べさせるため、衛生委員会を設けなければならない。
things related to the strategy that is to form the basis for preventing the impairment of workers' health;
労働者の健康障害を防止するための基本となるべき対策に関すること。
things related to the strategy that is to form the basis for helping to maintain and improve the health of workers;
労働者の健康の保持増進を図るための基本となるべき対策に関すること。
things related to the parts of the causes of industrial injuries and the strategy to prevent recurrence that are related to health;
労働災害の原因及び再発防止対策で、衛生に係るものに関すること。
material particulars involved in preventing the impairment of the health of workers and in helping to maintain and improve workers' health, beyond what is set forth in the preceding three items.
A health committee is composed of the following persons; provided, however, that only one of the committee members constitutes a person as referred to in item (i):
衛生委員会の委員は、次の者をもつて構成する。ただし、第一号の者である委員は、一人とする。
the general safety and health manager, or the person that the employer designates from among persons other than the general safety and health manager who are in charge of comprehensively managing the implementation of the undertaking at the relevant workplace or from among equivalent persons;
総括安全衛生管理者又は総括安全衛生管理者以外の者で当該事業場においてその事業の実施を統括管理するもの若しくはこれに準ずる者のうちから事業者が指名した者
An employer may designate a worker at the relevant workplace who is an expert in work environment monitoring and is implementing the work environment monitoring, as a member of the health committee.
The provisions of paragraphs (3) through (5) of the preceding Article apply mutatis mutandis to the health committee. In such a case, the phrase "item (i) member" in paragraphs (3) and (4) of that Article is deemed to be replaced with "a member who is a person as referred to in item (i) of paragraph (2) of Article 18".
前条第三項から第五項までの規定は、衛生委員会について準用する。この場合において、同条第三項及び第四項中「第一号の委員」とあるのは、「第十八条第二項第一号の者である委員」と読み替えるものとする。
